Radio review - Lux - "Top o' the Morning" (1952) **

Years before Local Hero did a similar premise for the Scots comes this tale about an Irish American who isn't really Irish but is sent back to the old country by his insurance company to find the missing blarney stone. He's played by Dennis Day a popular tenor back in the day whose bursting out into song was the worst thing about the Jack Benny Show and it is here - Anne Blythe joins him in warbling and Barry Fitzgerald makes his inevitable appearance.
