This is a beautiful movie. The mountains and lakes and rivers and skies, the songs of the operetta story, and at the top are the beautiful big expressive eyes of Miss McDonald.
In the third decade of the 21st-century, beauty and entertainment are still great reasons to see a film. Even if that film is an older one, done in a style that might be slightly different than things people may have seen lately, this is still a wonderful way to spend not quite two hours.
Get lost in the mountains and the wilderness, get lost in the singing by people who knew how the hell to sing really really well, or get lost in Jeanette McDonald's eyes. You'll be glad you did. And you don't have to be knowledgeable or even slightly acquainted with opera, this movie can be enjoyed, because that describes me and yet I liked it from start to finish.
