More than lives up to its reputation!
In many years of reading about movies from Hollywood's "Golden Age", I had often read that this was one of the best. I had a hard time believing it could be as good as some of the better-known films from the 30's and 40's, when this one was not as widely known or even available.When I was finally able to see it, I realized that the plaudits were more than deserved. Although I was never a huge Maurice Chevalier fan, he is perfect for this role. Jeanette MacDonald, too, is funny and lovely (especially in her camisole, thanks to the pre-production code date!). Finally, the music of Richard Rodgers ("Isn't It Romantic") adds the final touch of excellence to what is overall one of the great films of all time.
