Jeanette MacDonald

Resounding with such songs as “Rose-Marie, I Love You,” “Song of the Mounties” and the beloved “Indian Love Call,” Rose-Marie immortalized Hollywood’s greatest singing team.

One of the top-grossing films of 1937, Maytime is the poignant, glorious musical that has long been acknowledged as a supreme masterpiece of its genre. See and hear Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy at the height of their vocal powers and popularity. John Barrymore gives a thunderous portrayal as Nicolai Nazaroff, the egocentric voice teacher whose jealousy proves to be fatal. Marcia (MacDonald), young and beautiful, is an opera singer, the toast of Napoleon III's Paris. Paul (Eddy) is an American voice student, homesick and penniless. They meet and fall in love. Unfortunately, she has just accepted Nazaroff's proposal of marriage. Maytime's many highlights include Sigmund Romberg's lovely theme song, "Will You Remember? (Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart)", the superb Russian opera sequence adapted from Tchaikovsky's "Fifth Symphony" and the ghostly, flower-strewn finale, one of motion-picture history's most touching scenes.

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy pair up once again in the film version of the popular Sigmund Romberg operetta about a Parisian belle who becomes involved with a political prisoner. In 18th century Louisiana, haughty plantation owner Marianne de Beaumanoir (MacDonald) and her handsome bondservant Charles (Eddy), who is actually a French nobleman in disguise, are thrown together when Charles commandeers a ship carrying Marianne and a cargo of mail-order brides. Romance, adventure--and the French Revolution--ensue. The soaring Romberg musical score includes such favorites as "One Kiss," "Stout-Hearted Men," "Lover Come Back to Me," "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," and "Wanting You."

Cairo is the movie and the place for songs, cloak-and-dagger fun andgreat movie in-jokes.

Jeanette MacDonald portrays Nina Maria, who sings, dances and spies for Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Early in the story, Nina is eager to discourage an amorous French officer, so she feigns interest in Don Diego (Allan Jones). Now, she has a bigger problem – discouraging Don Diego, who is actually a French counterspy. His mission: shadow Nina Maria! Rudolf Friml's 1912 work provides the basis for this memorable musical that keeps some original songs (including "Giannina Mia"), revises others and introduces a now-classic charmer: "The Donkey Serenade" (engagingly set to the clip-clop of a mule-drawn coach), which became Jones' signature song throughout his career.

Golden hills, voices and melodies fill this fun-loving musical/western starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy as the bandit she loves.

With a lilting "Tira Lira La," a bevy of Budapest beauties show up for the birthday celebration of the town's most eligible bachelor, Count Palaffi (Nelson Eddy). Weary of their scheming attentions, the wealthy playboy slips away to his room… and dreams the fanciful escape of I Married an Angel. That angel is Jeanette MacDonald, starring with Eddy for the eighth time. The two stars are delightful as ever, harmonizing the Rodgers and Hart title tune, and more, in heavenly fashion. And the story has all the puffy-cloud imaginativeness you'd expect. This whimsical bon-bon of a film marked the end of the legendary MacDonald-Eddy pairings. They were to silver screen operetta what Astaire and Rogers were to dance. There's never been anyone else like them. There never will be again.

Jeanette MacDonald, having just been named "Queen of the Movies" by 22 million filmgoers in a 1939 New York Daily News opinion survey, stars in this elegant and alluring, fun-filled musical. Costarring leading man Lew Ayres, it's a rich and fitting tribute to the Broadway stage. Mary and Jimmy are a show biz couple, working the small joints in the Big Apple, hoping for a shot at the spotlights. Coincidentally, they both get a break at the same time; Jimmy earns a chance to pursue his music abroad, while Mary is cast in the road company of a big producer's new show. By the time Mary returns to New York she's already a star, and Jimmy's jealousy over her supposed romance with the producer gets the better of him. This love story, set against a terrific musical score and packed with one hit song after another, makes Broadway Serenade a powerful, triumphant success.

Things really get shaken up when an aspiring opera singer becomes involved with a bawdy saloon owner and his high-society rival during the devastating earthquake of 1906.

Jeanette MacDonald's MGM debut is a witty and colorful film based on the Kern-Harbaugh stage musical comedy.
