The Firefly
(1937)Jeanette MacDonald portrays Nina Maria, who sings, dances and spies for Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Early in the story, Nina is eager to discourage an amorous French officer, so she feigns interest in Don Diego (Allan Jones). Now, she has a bigger problem – discouraging Don Diego, who is actually a French counterspy. His mission: shadow Nina Maria! Rudolf Friml's 1912 work provides the basis for this memorable musical that keeps some original songs (including "Giannina Mia"), revises others and introduces a now-classic charmer: "The Donkey Serenade" (engagingly set to the clip-clop of a mule-drawn coach), which became Jones' signature song throughout his career.

The Unguarded Hour
(1936)Did Samuel Metford push his wife from Dover Cliff? Lady Helen Dearden saw the Metfords there and knows the woman's death was an accident. If she testifies in court, an innocent man avoids the gallows. Yet one thing will die if she testifies – her barrister husband's career. Lady Helen had secretly gone to Dover to pay off the blackmailer who possessed letters linking her husband romantically to a married woman. Her trust in her spouse is further tested when he is later accused of killing the woman addressed in the letters. Did Lady Helen wed a murderer? Twists abound in this luminous whodunit featuring Loretta Young and Franchot Tone as the sophisticated, increasingly disquieted Deardens. Roland Young adds wit as the Deardens' friend. And little-known Henry Daniell excels as the blackmailer.
