I've seen this a few times in my life and it gets better and better despite it's age. This one movie personifies St. Patrick's Day with it's lovely scenery, memorable characters, sense of liveliness and fun, and wonderful ending which is too good to reveal here. Albert Sharpe is terrific as the title character trying to make the most out of finding the king of the leprechauns and the wishes he's allowed to make. Then there's Janet Munroe as his beautiful daughter who's doing whatever she can to help her father. Finally there's Sean Connery as Michael who has a good singing voice, and has a lot of responsibility and resiliency, not letting the local jerk trample on anyone. It will only be a matter of time before the confrontation happens, and there will be some unexpected, not to mention frightening scenes later, but those don't spoil the high spirits of the movie.
