Jeanette at her best, 2 February 2004

Author: Debbie from usa

This little known film is a gem for Jeanette Macdonald.I read that she does her own piano playing in this.The music is lovely and fits her voice like a glove.Also,the color ending is very good.Ramon is fine as a leading man for Jeanette.It is a charming blend of a good story,very fine acting, and singing.
