Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrMade before the production code was inflicted, the film is rife with Lubitschian innuendo.
User Review - 10/10 by Tim HI've never seen a Lubitsch film before! WOW! I just finished watching Eclipse "Lubitsch Musicals" collection. Yeah, they aren't traditional musicals. but I think that they are what musicals should be! Maurice Chevalier is charming. That's right. I'm reviewing the male lead first. He's got this impecable sense of comic timing that really isn't seen too often in actors. While some of the music is "eh" (especially when it comes to Chevalier having to speak-sing part of the lyrics), his character always makes up for the flaws in performance. Jeanette MacDonald across from him is also dead-on. I have to commend Lubitsch on his direction of MacDonald because she has this very gradual change in her character that, while the attention of much of the film, is very subtle and as real as can get in this absolutely bizarre situation. But that's what this movie is. This is the forefather of the escapist romantic comedy. This world never existed. I couldn't relate to the womanizing soldier having to marry a queen to maintain a royal bloodline. It just didn't work that way. But at no time was I ever pulled into how absurd a story that was. I simply bought it, hook-line-and-sinker. That takes a lot for me, considering I'm a cynical bastard. My favorite moments, it should be noted, were the ones with Lupino Lane. I just marveled at his physicality. Partnering him with Lillian Roth just took slapstick dancing to a new level. I didn't understand how he didn't get hurt, but I loved it all the more. This really is one of those absolutely priceless movies. If you are on the fence about the Eclipse Lubitsch set, I hope this review pushes you into thinking about it. This is a heck of a set and it really is enjoyable.
User Review - 10/10 by Edith Ntiene mucho carisma y me hizo reír a carcajadas
User Review - 10/10 by Irvin CA womanizing military attache finds himself married to the Queen of his country and a battle of the sexes ensues. This is another classic pre-code musical courtesy of Ernst Lubitsch and Maurice Chevalier. The film will be viewed as rather sexist today and the songs are not that memorable but the wit, charm and filmmaking artistry will definitely win most people over (yours truly included). Oh, and it's also quite funny.
User Review - 8/10 by Chrisanne SEarly sound. Pre-code. Very interesting. Despite some incredibly silent moments (lack of dialogue, music, or sound effects,) this film breezes by and ends up creating a successful satire on gender roles. Lupino Lane in "Let's Be Common" seems like a mild precursor to O'Conner in "Make 'em Laugh" from Singin' In The Rain.
User Review - 8/10 by David LThe Love Parade is a strong sound film debut for Ernst Lubitsch who directed the film so well and with his signature fun touch. Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald are both so charming together. The plot is slim, but the humor is very good, the film is stupendously shot and recorded for its time and the soundtrack is also quite strong with the best numbers being March of the Grenadiers and My Love Parade.
User Review - 8/10 by Felix GI love to hear Maurice Chevalier's speaking and songs in English with the heavy French accent.
User Review - 8/10 by Jordan TChevalier finds a way to make his French accent sing despite his Sylvanian origins. the servant plot compels and the dog's farewell serenade outclasses Maurice. delightful although decidedly short of actual parades.

User Review - 8/10 by Matt KThis kind of musical is so much better than those cinemascope, 1950's, 3-hour ones that are supposedly classics. This kicks West Side Story and The Sound of Music in the ass. This is funny, sweet, and has an actually good love story at its heart.
