A Christmas Carol

Maytime
(1937)One of the top-grossing films of 1937, Maytime is the poignant, glorious musical that has long been acknowledged as a supreme masterpiece of its genre. See and hear Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy at the height of their vocal powers and popularity. John Barrymore gives a thunderous portrayal as Nicolai Nazaroff, the egocentric voice teacher whose jealousy proves to be fatal. Marcia (MacDonald), young and beautiful, is an opera singer, the toast of Napoleon III's Paris. Paul (Eddy) is an American voice student, homesick and penniless. They meet and fall in love. Unfortunately, she has just accepted Nazaroff's proposal of marriage. Maytime's many highlights include Sigmund Romberg's lovely theme song, "Will You Remember? (Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart)", the superb Russian opera sequence adapted from Tchaikovsky's "Fifth Symphony" and the ghostly, flower-strewn finale, one of motion-picture history's most touching scenes.
Bitter Sweet
(1940)Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy star in Noel Coward's operetta about a Victorian beauty who finds success on stage comes at a price that's Bitter Sweet. On the eve of an arranged marriage to a man she does not love, Victorian beauty Sarah Millick (MacDonald) elopes with her adoring voice teacher, Carl Linden (Eddy). The newlyweds flee to Vienna, where they struggle to earn a living from their music as Linden writes an operetta tailored exactly for his new bride. Linden finds a backer to produce the work, Baron von Tranisch (George Sanders), who is more interested in Sarah than the music--and who kills Linden in a sword fight before the production opens. Now, as Linden's operetta debuts, featuring Sarah as its star, her triumph is Bitter Sweet.
