více...On V-E Day in London, American soldier Abie Levy falls in love with U.S.O. entertainer Rosemary Murphy, and shortly after, they are married by an Army chaplain, Rev. Tom Stevens. When Abie returns home, however, he keeps his marriage a secret, knowing that his father Solomon would not approve of his marrying an Irish Catholic woman. A few months later, Rosemary returns to the United States, prompting Abie to reveal to Solomon that he met a woman overseas and intends to bring her to dinner. That evening, Abie introduces Rosemary as Rosie Murphiski, allowing Solomon to infer that she is Jewish. Although Rosemary privately protests to Abie, he insists that the deception is necessary until Solomon has time to know and love her. Delighted with Rosemary's beauty and sweetness, Solomon enlists the family rabbi, Dr. Jacob Samuels, to help plan a Jewish wedding for the couple. On the day of the wedding, Rosemary's father Patrick flies in from California with his friend, Father John Whelan, but arrives just after the vows have been uttered. Because Patrick dislikes Jews as much as Solomon dislikes the Irish, Rosemary has told him she is marrying a man named Michael McGee. When Patrick and Solomon finally learn about their children's deception, they engage in a fierce argument, while Solomon's friends, Isaac Cohen and his wife, side with Rosemary and Abie. Patrick insists that the Jewish marriage is not legal, and Father Whelan gets a special dispensation to allow him to perform a Catholic wedding ceremony. Abie and Rosemary are wed three times, but their fathers refuse to have anything to do with the couple or with each other. The Cohens stand by the newlyweds, however, offering them both friendship and financial help, and a year later, they arrive at Abie and Rosemary's apartment to help them decorate a Christmas tree. Rosemary has given birth, but neither grandparent has visited or offered congratulations, until Father Whelan arrives with a reluctant Patrick, who is pleased to see the Christmas tree. Patrick brings presents for a girl, hoping that the baby is not a boy because he does not want his grandchild to bear the name Levy all of his life. Soon after, Dr. Samuels arrives with Solomon, who carries a menorah and presents for a boy, and the two grandfathers again become embroiled in a loud, endless argument. Father Whelan and Dr. Samuels are joined by Rev. Stevens, and the three theologians intervene and bring out a baby boy named Patrick Joseph Levy. Patrick loves the name as much as Solomon hates it, and Solomon declares that he will call the baby "Mr. Levy." Little Pat's twin sister is then brought out and when Solomon learns that she is named Rebecca for Abie's dead mother, his heart is softened. The joy of holding the babies brings the grandfathers together, but their happiness is temporarily interrupted when baby Pat swallows a hook from a Christmas tree ornament. A doctor saves the boy, much to the relief of the grandfathers, who immediately start to argue over who gets to hold Pat. A passing policeman stops by to investigate the doctor's badly parked car, and upon hearing the twins cry, assures Abie and Rosemary that he has a foolproof system for getting babies to sleep. Holding the twins close, the policeman sings both an Irish lullaby and a Jewish song, soothing them to sleep and proving to the grandfathers that their separate cultures can be satisfactorily intertwined. Patrick and Solomon then shake hands, and everyone enjoys a happy holiday.
