"Maytime," starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, is perhaps the most beautiful operetta ever made. Featuring very strong performances by all of the cast, including John Barrymore in one of his last good roles, this movie's appeal is vast.
Jeanette plays an elderly woman, who was once the most famous opera singer in the world, but now lives in lonely seclusion. She tells her story to a younger woman in the hopes that is will help her decide between a career and love. I am loathe to reveal any more of the plot than that. I can only say that it is touching indeed.
This film also includes many wonderful songs, including the immortal "Sweetheart." Lavishly costumed and photographed, this film is a treat for the eyes, the ears and the heart.
