This movie was okay, but not great. I am not a big Nelson Eddy-Jeanette McDonald fan.
Don't get me wrong, Jeanette McDonald has a wonderful voice, one of the best. But Nelson Eddy is extremely wooden in this movie, and his singing isn't bad, though not at all spectacular. I think Allan Jones, a tenor who had a small part in the film, had a much better voice. He was paired once with Jeanette McDonald in "The Firefly." Also, I saw 1 major flaw in the actual movie. How could Rose-Marie forgive the Seargent for throwing her brother in jail? Wasn't her brother supposed to be hanged or something? She loved her brother, too. I saw the ending as highly implausible. All she cared about was Seargent Bruce!!! But now for the positive stuff in the movie: James Stewart's acting was great, despite the fact he had a very small role. It was very interesting to see him in this movie. The Indian Love Call also added a nice touch. Jeanette McDonald sang and acted beautifully in this movie. Nelson Eddy, as well as expected from the famously wooden actor.
But the movie still leaves a lot to be desired. 3/5 stars.
score 6/10
