According to Ann Myth, the cutest brogue in "Top 0' The Morning" does not belong to Barry Fitzgerald, but to Eileen Crowe.
"Bing Crosby arrives in town from over the sea to become the light of me life," Ann describes "Top 0' The Morning."

Ann Blyth, on a pet subject, candidly rates the mature swains in her screen life
By William Lynch Vallee
ANN MARIE BLYTH has been 21 almost a month . . . August 16 was the big day and while there weren't many rockets lighting up the Los Angeles sky, Ann was nevertheless no longer a minor, legally speaking. She was able to vote, sign contracts, call herself grown-up.
Not that she had previously been living in a barrel, waiting for August 16 to roll around — it's common knowledge that Ann's been a full movie star for lo, these many years and earning a nice fourfigure sum every weekt

Documentary proof of Ann's screenliaisons with men of maturity (and distinction) follows. There was "Mildred Pierce," in 1945, with Zachary Scott. "Swell Guy," with a guy named Sonny Tufts. Burt Lancaster in "Brute Force" and "A Woman's Vengeance," opposite Charles Boyer. In "Mr, Pea body And The Mermaid," she was a triple-cute
Off-screen, Ann's courted by young blades, among them Dick Clayton and Roddy McDowall.
For the past four years, Ann's co-starred with a galaxy of older men such as Bing.
mermaid who caught a fisherman named William Powell. "Once More, My Darling," is a brand new one opposite Robert Montgomery and then there's "Top 0' The Morning," another newie, with Bing Crosby. Howard Duff and Mickey Rooney have pursued her through movies, but they're mere babes compared to the above full-grown gents.
How, we wondered, did Ann feel about these older-than-she swains? And what happened at the studio — were they wheeled in, propped up in position, photographed, wheeled out again, to rest up
