Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

This is one of Hollywood's most clever and influential film musicals, with a sublime Rodgers and Hart score illuminating director Rouben Mamoulian's successful attempt at freeing the production from its staid, stage-bound forerunner. The irrepressible Maurice Chevalier is "the son-of-a-gun who's nothing but a tailor" who falls for princess Jeanette MacDonald, long before MGM put her in a straitjacket opposite the sexless Nelson Eddy. And those songs - Mimi, Lover, Isn't It Romantic? - and the risqué dialogue: make a note of Myrna Loy's pre-censorship response to "Could you go for a doctor?". This is a real treat.
