For those who like wholesome fun, music and romance, this is a great movie!

The script moves along so it keeps your interest. Sure boy gets girl at the end, but most of us women viewers kind of like that.

The casting was great (James Stewart was just naturally a great actor. And his acting in this movie is no exception!). I love how he portrays a man stuck in the middle of feud between his stuffy uncle and the fun-loving musicians and McCorkles.

The music is good, but there is almost too much of it (that is why I gave this a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star).

Pot 'O Gold is a rather gooey film. It chronicles the progression of a relationship between characters played by Paulette Goddard and the unparalleled James Stewart. Eventually, they get the idea for a radio show that gives away a thousand dollars every week. When everybody realizes that doing this legally will be difficult, they spend a few days desperately attempting to find a solution. They do, of course, and the show is a big hit, whereupon Stewart and Goddard cement their committment to one another and the film ends. In my opinion, the only thing that one could genuinely enjoy from this film is the presence of James Stewart. Otherwise, save your money.

I'm not really big on musicals, but I am a big Jimmy Stewart buff. This is typical Stewart, high on fun and frolic, low on isues of substance. Music good .... greed bad. Okay by me.
