A Beautiful Movie

cemcphee

The two stars were before my Mother's time. And yet they light up the screen like no others. I first saw this movie about two months ago. I simply could not get over how sensational it was. And the talent of these people. I can't think of anyone who can compare to them. The singing is gorgeous. Jeanette MacDonald is gorgeous.

But the most amazing thing is when the two stars get together on the screen. Something absolutely magical happens. I searched for and bought the movie (not an easy task). Now, all of my friends are blown away by what happens when the two leads are on camera together. (Oh, so this is what they mean by chemistry.) It is inexplicable, simply amazing. My absolute favorite movie ever.(I think I could watch it every day and not get tired of it.) My music loving neighbor says that Nelson Eddy is singing very complicated harmony. I suppose that's true but the results (and after all, it's results that count) are wondrous. Great voices, great music, love.

Just a romantic, beautiful, emotionally fulfilling movie.

score 10/10
