French Princess Marie (Jeanette MacDonald) is fun-loving and arranged to marry elderly Spanish duke Don Carlos. She pretends to be one of the King's Daughters and escapes to the New World. Their ship gets pirated. They are rescued by Captain Richard Warrington (Nelson Eddy) and Marie is immediately in love. She would climb to the high society of New Orleans.
A rescue mission is a pretty good starting point. This coupling gets off to a good start. They are never in doubt although the movie tries to generate a few road bumps. It's not the highest of drama. The music style is not for me. I had to fast forward a couple of times. This did win the Oscar for Best Sound as well as a nomination for Best Picture. This is technically good and MacDonald is a good lead. It is not necessarily my taste.
