| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyNominated for the Best Picture Oscar, this is the first of eight but not the best teaming of Eddie Nelson and Jeannette MacDonald. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe comedy being insufficient to sustain this much footage, with no especially exciting action, provides serious handicaps. |
| Time OutTom MilneThe first MacDonald-Eddy vehicle, enormously popular in its day so somebody must have been able to stand this simpering duo. |
| User ReviewBrittney CLove her! All her movies are so good and romantic! |
| User ReviewRebekah HA ridiculous look at 18th century New Orleans, complete with coonskin caps and fugitive French princesses. A musical of course. |
| User ReviewBrian Camazing movie one of my favorites at a young age....Jeanette MacDonald is a great actress and wonderful classical/opera singer.....love the italian street song scene |
| User ReviewPrivate UAny movie with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy is great! I watch these ones often. |
| User ReviewByron BI love MacDonald's expressive face and inflection. They made the movie so much funnier. The Italian Street Song number when she laughed at Eddy was hilarious. <3 e and own it! |
| User ReviewBrian HYou don't have to like opera to like this. Release it on DVD! |
