Abie's Irish Rose is a 1928 early sound (part-talkie) film directed by Victor Fleming and starring Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Nancy Carroll, Jean Hersholt, and J. Farrell MacDonald.
In the 1930s, author Nichols revealed that her deal with Paramount brought her $300,000 plus half the film's profits.
The fathers of both bride and groom are at first religiously bigoted toward the other but with the birth of twin grandchildren, their antagonism fades.
The film featured a theme song entitled "Rosemary" which was composed by J. S. Zamecnik and Anne Nichols.
An additional song called "Abie" (by the same composers) is also heard on the soundtrack and is sung by Charles Buddy Rogers.
