Rating: - This one will make you shed a tear or two
Most of Nelson and Jeanette films will make you sing and smile and once
in a while make you shed a tear. I always wanted to know why my mom
cried looking at their movies years ago when i sat on her lap while they
played on tv in the early sixties. Now that im older, and have just seen
this movie, i also shed a tear for this delightfull tale of love.
Rating: - Maytime
I have loved mac/eddy for over 50 years. Each time I fall in love with them all over again. Every movie they made was unique. I found Maytime to be beautiful.The story was beautiful and sad. As in another of there movies the Bitter with the sweet.I wish the youth of today could watch the true artist of yesterday.Never will our world experience two more perfect talents.My only regret is I missed them in person.I promise you watch one and all eight will be part of your collection.

Rating: - Did this film inspire James Cameron's Titanic?

A year later the project was resurrected resulting in the film we have today. It features the great voices of Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy, lavish production values, some great examples of McDonald's singing in her prime, and one of the last great roles the legendary John Barrymore ever had. Although the ... Read More
Rating:  - Lavish operetta is a "must" for MacDonald/Eddy fans...
"Lavish" must have been a word expressly invented for MGM musicals of the '30s, '40s and '50s. There is no other word to describe how richly produced this film is for the singing sweethearts. In fact, the visual splendor is so glorious in B&W that you can't help thinking how much more glorious the whole thing would have been in the kind of Technicolor MGM bestowed the following year on SWEETHEARTS.
Not only lavish production-wise, but populated with so many singing extras and townspeople ... Read More
