The Hills of Donegal is a 1947 British second feature ('B')[1] drama film directed by John Argyle and starring Dinah Sheridan, James Etherington and Moore Marriott.

So may side issues – gipsy revels, murder echoes from the past, jealous housekeeper, comic retainer, stage intrigue – make for disjointedness, whatever they may lend to local colour.

There is a generous allowance of music, including the ballads "The Hills of Donegal", "Eily Mavourneen"', "The Harp that Once Thru' Tara's Halls", etc., a scene each from Traviata and The Bartered Bride, and some capable singing from James Etherington (Michael).

The rest of the cast, led by Dinah Sheridan, John Bentley and Moore Marriott, cope loyally with what singing, dancing or romancing comes their way.

The plot is not exactly subtle, but James Etherington's fine singing and a wealth of expertly varied by-play more than atones for its various cliches.
