Peg o' My Heart is a 1933 American Pre-Code film adaptation of the play of the same name by J. Hartley Manners.^[1]^[2] It starred Marion Davies as a poor Irish girl, Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell, who stands to inherit a fortune if she satisfies certain conditions.^[3]

Plot[edit]

Sir Gerald Markham turns up with the news, telling Peg's father that she must spend three years in England learning to be a lady and remain separated from her father during this period. She is sent to London to live with her aunt, the penniless Mrs. Chichester, and her daughter, Ethel, and spoiled, over-indulged son, Alaric. The Chichesters put up with the arrangement because they are paid 5000 pounds a year for hosting Peg.
