• Embargo?
06 March, 2010
Those of us of the nature or old enough to like movies of the 1930s, McDonald/Eddy movies are quaint and fun. Such a great duo they were. And it puts you back in the times of the 1930s and the style of those days. That was real singing in those days. The real question is why is there an embargo on their 5 movies in the US? One cannot rent or buy their 5 movies anywhere. This copy that was purchased was a Spanish version, but in English of course. Does anyone know the answer to this question?

• Most Disappointing Of The Eddy-mac Musicals
05 August, 2009
The story is so fractured......and much as I love Tosca......this is not the place for it. Some segments on their own are good, but it doesn't hang together as a whole. And the stupid totem song with the Indian segment was totally ridiculous. Leave it to Hollywood to screw up a good musical.
For a fine musical with Jeanette as an opera singer, see Maytime.

I watched this movie for the first time recently and I loved every minute of it. The scenery was filmed in the Canadian Rockies and it is so beautiful. Jeannette and Nelson meet and fall in love. There are several songs in this movie, of which my favorite is "Indian Love Call". Jeannette is an opera singer in parts of the movie. She has a wide range to her singing voice and at one time she holds a very high note for about 30 to 45 seconds. Jeannette and Nelson are invited to watch an Indian tribe do a traditional dance. If you have watched the movie, "King Kong" and saw the dance that the tribe does when Faye Wray and Robert Armstrong and the crew get off the boat and come on land, the Indian dance in "Rose Marie" is alot like the other dance. This dance is very interesting to watch as the tradition of the dance unfolds. There is a very heartwarming scene where Nelson stands in the front of the house and looks up at Jeannette's open window and sings to her. She hears him singing and comes to the window to listen.Their love for each other grows in this scene. Another scene shows both of them in a paddleboat and he sings "Indian Love Call" to her and does it with such emotion. Jeannette is following another man while they are riding horses. He enters the river without any trouble, but when Jeannette follows him into the water she falls off of the horse and yells for help. Nelson sees her and quickly he goes and frees her from the river. Nelson pulls a tricky stunt on her telling her that he is leaving. He mounts onto his horse and starts riding away with the other man beside him. Jeannette soon feels alone and she walks up the hill to the road where she sings "Indian Love Call" to him to try to get his attention. He hears her singing and it touches his heart but he keeps on riding. As he keeps riding he can still hear her voice. Then he hears her crying as she sings to him, but he keeps on riding. After a little while he decides to go back to her. When they meet they sing the song to each other with such deep feelings of love, then the movie ends. I think Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are two of my favorite singers. I watched the movie, "Naughty Marietta", which they made 2 years before, and I quickly became a fan of theirs. I love Nelson's voice very much also. Because of the love they had for each other and the sound of their voices as they sang, I cried most of the way through the movie. If you enjoy Jeannette and Nelson you should definitely buy the movie and watch it for yourself. This is such a beautiful film. Oscar HammersteinII wrote the music for it. I hope this movie won an Oscar because it sure deserves it. The movie, "Maytime" is good also, but "Rose Marie" tops all of the films that they made. Get it and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

• Great Classic!
09 December, 2009
The storyline is weak. HOWEVER....the beautiful voices of Eddie and MacDonald and their Indian Lovecall (I am calling you) rendition are worth buying this movie. Janette's cute attempt at dancing in a local pub in the style of a baudy competitor is charming. This movie is musical and much of the music (besides Indian Love call) is not to be remembered.
I am glad, though, that I have it in my collection.
