MacDonald/Eddy fans will appreciate the similarity between this and NAUGHTY MARIETTA, but will probably notice that the story here is a lot weaker and even less plausible, with Nelson noticeably heavier than he was in the earlier film. Not that that is going to matter much, when the camera is clearly in love with Jeanette's luminous close-ups. She is, as usual, costumed in an array of lavish gowns and hair-styles and holds the attention in all their scenes together.
The Sigmund Romberg score is an excellent one as far as operettas go, and they are both in excellent voice whether singing solos or duets. Jeanette is particularly lovely singing "Lover Come Back to Me" and "One Kiss" while Eddy does his famous "Stout-Hearted Men" with manly gusto.
Time has not been kind to this sort of musical entertainment, so I can recommend it only for fans of MacDonald and Eddy. It's not their best effort, but the Romberg score is worthy of their singing talents.
