Review of Maytime

Maytime (1937)
10/10
Classic Musical Love Story
15 March 2006
If you like old time pictures that portray simple down to earth innocent love and beautiful voices, this is the picture for you. Jeanette MacDonald,(Marcia Mornay),"The Sun Comes Up",'49, always wanted to sing professionally and was tutored by John Barrymore,(Nicolai), "Playmates",'41 who was very much older than Marcia and helped her achieve great importance in the world of Opera. Nelson Eddy,(Paul Allison),"Northwest Outpost",'47, was a young singer and was lazy about becoming a great singer and often frequented local bars and sang and drank with all his friends. The close ups of Jeanette MacDonald reveal her great beauty and wonderful acting skills besides a great talent for singing. This is a sweet and very sour picture about two people who fall deeply in love which enchanted all the audiences of 1937 and will continue for many generations to come.
