This is not really an odd movie. Just unusual, in that instead of it being a musical, it's a comedy with a conceit, i.e., common people sing, rich people are miserable. It could be developed more in this film but it's highly effective. In a musical, everyone sings, because the premise of a musical is that life has some sort of musical undercurrent of fantasy only visible in musicals. In Pot o'Gold, music belongs to a class. The performances do have fantasy sequences, but by and large, for the plot's movement, all the singing is consistent with the action, if that makes sense. I would only recommend the movie if such things interested you. Paulette Goddard is charming but doesn't really get to do anything. The music itself is banal.
