Although that is not Connery's voice in this scene, he did record a version of the song for the studio (accompanied by piano) and that is available on the compilation "Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song."
@cdmthatsme Actually, depending on which version of the film this scene is from, it may have actually been Connery and Janet Munro singing it themselves. Connery and Munro were only dubbed over by Brendan O'Dowda and Ruby Murray in the UK version.
@2wingo - You're right. I recently contacted some 45-record collectors in UK, and found that Connery & Munro (who sound very different from O'Dowda and Murray) were on a 45 single released in the UK in 1959, and apparently it is them on the US soundtrack. Not surprising, since Munro's a capella finish to her verse sounds identical to the pre-recorded voice she's lip-syncing up till that line.
On the question of the toupet, I saw Connery on the Tonight Show several years ago where instead of playing a clip from the movie he was promoting, Jay played a clip from this movie. Sean said "He's just jealous cause this is the only time in my career I had more hair than him." So I think that may possibly be his real hair.
I like Sean Connery better in this than in Bond movies (although Dr. No was pretty good...it was the first, he was still being fairly natural in it! ^_~).
I also like Pierce Brosnan better in the movie Evelyn (set in Ireland ^_^) than in Bond movies. (Some actors, doing the Irish bit is obviously what suits them best! ^_^)
To IrishHelloKitty: I love that film AND your screen name! ^_^
Oh, good, somebody posted the end bit ("Pretty Irish Girl" reprise) (I thought of this as soon as I saw/heard the other YouTube videos of the song! ^_^).
Glad to know that this movie *still* has *many* fans! ^_^
You can see why he was a hot favourite for Bond. He looked the part in this film. If I had Cary Grant or Sean Connery to pick for Bond - I'd pick Connery every time.
The cute little actress with connery died tragiclly from chocking on tea apparently. Janet munro was her name, she was only in her early 30s. She did a disaster film with michael caine in the 60s but she didnt do as much as i would of liked her to do.
My Pretty irish Girl is special to me because it's the song that my boyfriend likes to sing to me, even though I'm only a VERY wee bit irish! (like 1/32!)
just having sean connery in this movie, makes it awesome, but what would make this even better?? sean connery pulling a walther PPK on the broad and strangling her.
hmm was that piece

He started loosing his hair really early and was bald in his early thirties. Possible that this was shot before.

they're actually Irish names "Sean" and "Connery". Connery is an anglicisation of the Irish surname O'Conaire so O'Connery is fair enough ;-)
