Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It first aired In Cincinnati Friday 23 September 1949 on WCPO (Channel7) and in Salt Lake City Tuesday 27 December 1949 on KDYL (Channel 4).

- Alternate versionsThe original 1930 theatrical release ran 80 minutes, and included tinted scenes, with the final reel in Technicolor. The film was cut to 67 minutes for a 1937 re-release, and shown in black-and-white only. A copy of the original release (with tinted and color sequences) does reside at George Eastman House, and was broadcast on Turner Classic Movies in 2011.

Featured review
Totally disastrous... a curio for Jeanette MacDonald fans ...
It takes sterner stuff than mine to sit through this disastrous relic of a film that looks as if this was made during the silent film era--the acting by Jeanette and the rest of the cast is a holdover from silent film.
The few songs are forgettable and clumsily inserted into the plot, amounting to nothing at all. None of the actors are well-known aside from Jeanette who plays a heroine who is finally reunited with her long lost lover in the Yukon. No use going into details.
The final scenes involving a dirigible disaster are clunky and poorly edited with the most artificial looking icebergs (and icicles) ever filmed amid a snowbound exterior. And for some strange reason, color is used for this sequence alone. It doesn't help.
Neither color nor some feeble humor from Joe E. Brown is able to do anything to raise the level of this grotesque failure.
Not worth a watch--or a listen.
