nodakbutterfly I am in my 60's and would have missed this movie, but for my 87 year old mother....an opera buff. She recorded it for me and sent it along on a VHS tape which I avoided at all costs. Last night I plugged it in and have re watched it at least 8 times. I researched the famous book about them in real life, and could not believe her voice.....it was like something surreal to me. I loved this movie so much that I am now ordering ALL the movies made by America's Sweethearts. It is so hard for me to realize the personal life tragedies this pair faced. I recommend this movie to any artist, singer, or person with a tender heart and soul out there! You would not be sorry. You would be captivated.

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.

Sir & Lady Warrick The movie/show "Dudley Do Right" was based on this, and unfortunately I saw those before this movie, so I was cracking up during the parts "When I'm calling you!" I can't say whether it ruined it for me or not. But I still liked it, despite of this, so it was all good.This movie is so cool! It wasn't as much as the singing (which was pretty), as the funny little things that they said! This movie is hilarious! What's his name isn't very good looking, but he's funny! Jimmy Stewart doesn't have a very big part, but he's still good looking! Jeanette McDonald's hair is really pretty, in fact, I think that her hair-style is the best she ever had it. Lovely movie, good plot, funny, very funny!

C.K. Dexter Haven Nelson Eddy falling off the barrel is the only moment of this operatic calamity worth noting. Granted, Eddy is much easier on the ears than the shrill Ms. Macdonald, who quite literally, if you're not an absolute lover of her voice, can cause your ear drums to turn on your brain like pieces of broken glass.One of the most painful of MGM musicals. If there's a story here you'll probably find it at the bottom of Lake TeePee. I'm a Canadian and this depiction of Mounties and Indian culture is wince inducing with or without the singing. I could have tolerated the singing and the lack of story, and the Hollywood cheesiness of it all, if there was at least some wit or screwball comedy along the way, but apart from Eddy's pratfall off the barrel this is just a big barrel of noise.
