this film have an amazing cast . mgm take some of it fine character actor and star them in a film with the usually adorable margaret obrien . lionel barrymore and edward arnold and lewis stone star a three greedy old bachelor who live in the same home . while they have amass a fortune over the year and they also have be selfish jerk . one of them have an idea to donate some property in order to buy themselves a good name ( sort of like carnegie ) but it turn out the property they want to give away actually belong to obrien . and and since she an orphan and they volunteer to be her guardian so they can give her property away and look like great philanthropist . there also be a goofy subplot involve fairy lead by the wonderful character actor henry davenport . and and since obrien be irish ( a evidence by her outrageous accent ) and she and the little people make up much of the plot . frankly and i absolutely hat this portion of the film and wish they would just drop it entirely . instead and the story could still have be about sweet margaret melt the mean old men hearts this would have work . but . the little people . sheesh . overall and the actor try very and very hard but the silliness of the plot and the deadly earnest way they try make me cringe . i notice a lot of people like this film i guess i be just an old grouch . i find the film horrible difficult to watch .
