With a south side Irishman's humor, Mike Houlihan presents a funny and thoughtful study of the process by which beautiful and talented Chicago girls are selected to be the St. Patrick's Parade Queen and Court.
Rooted in Chicago's muscular labor culture, the St. Patrick's Day Parade(s)- West Side, South Side and Downtown - is a tradition loved by all Chicagoans. The Plumbers Union took the flag and sponsors the parade in Chicago's Loop every year since the late 1950's.
Houlihan talks to labor leaders, contestants and their families and most importantly the judges who determine which young woman will wear the emerald green cloak and the tiara.
The music provided by Irish singer Paddy Homan is wonderful.
This is an intelligent and very funny film.
