Movie Reviews of Rose Marie (1936) [Import , ALL Regions]
Movie Review: An Eddy/MacDonald Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Until and unless Turner/MGM releases this movie on DVD in the USA, this Brazilian DVD version is a great alternative to the VHS tape released in the 90s. Even though it is a foreign release, the movie is in English; the speaking voices of all the actors are the originals and so are the singing voices. The DVD is "All Region" and plays on USA Region 1 DVD players. The only drawback, which is not much of a drawback, is that the text on the DVD cover and Menu are in Portugese, but it only takes a few seconds to figure out how to "turn off" the Portugese subtitles and to get the movie started. Then the fun begins.
This was the 2nd pairing of Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald and is the movie for which they are best remembered. Opera prima donna, Marie de Flor (Jeanette), who is the terror of her entire staff, has time in her life for only one man: her younger brother. When she learns he has killed a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer during a daring prison escape, she goes in search of him, intending to help him flee the country. Along the way, she meets Sgt. Bruce, the RCMP officer sent to bring her brother to justice. She allows Bruce the misconception that her first name is Rose Marie, but is surprised to discover he recognizes her for the opera star she is. Just as their mutual attraction blossoms, Bruce realizes the true reason for her visit, but when he goes to her hotel to confront her, he finds she has vanished and sets off after her, figuring she will eventually lead him to her brother.
Circumstances reunite the couple and in the ensuing days during their trek through the rugged and scenic wilderness, they fall in love. But the Mountie won't allow his love to interfere with his commitment to duty and when given the opportunity, he arrests her brother. Rose Marie is left behind with a broken heart and a deep sense of betrayal that sends her emotional and physical health on a downward spiral, until she and Bruce are reunited in a touching final scene.
Two relative newcomers to the Hollywood scene make notable appearances in this movie. David Niven has a brief role as one of Marie's eager suitors and Jimmy Stewart is terrific in the role of her convict brother.
Even Louis B. Mayer's attempt to ruin Nelson Eddy's appeal to fans by ordering his makeup grossly overdone and his scenes kept to a minimum couldn't destroy the chemistry between Nelson and Jeanette, who were engaged to each other in real life during much of the filming of this movie. Add to that, their wonderful voices blending in the memorable Indian Love Call and their very able portrayals of their characters and this movie is worth every second of viewing.
