4.0 out of 5 stars Rise Stevens is wonderful..., July 17, 2000

But she's no Lynn Fontanne. This movie is a mixture of Strauss's The Chocolate Soldier and Molnar's The Guardsman (film version made by the Lunts). The premise of The Guardsman is that you're supposed to arrive at your OWN conclusion as to whether the wife would have cheated on her husband or not. In this version, they leave almost no doubts that she knows he is the guardsman.

Still, Rise Stevens singing is wonderful (especially when she is having dinner with the guardsman--the prince). Nelson Eddy is good in this, and he has some absolutely hilarious moments. I absolutely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I saw this when i was 10 years old., September 12, 2002
By Rick D. Barszcz (bristol, ct United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
....and it is still my favorite Rise Stevens and Nelson Eddy movie. Rise Stevens i thought was the most beautfiul women i've ever seen back then. She has the most facial expressions i have also ever seen in a movie to this date. Nelson Eddy in everything he did was just wonderful.This movie is a light hearted comedy about love and trust of a married couple but who's wife has a wondering eye for male members of the audience white she is singing. Her husband thinks that she is in love with someone else dresses up as a Russian Baran to try to catch her in the act of cheating She knows almost right away that this is her husband but he thinks that she is falling inlove with this stranger who is really her husband anyway.At the end during the final scene of one of there operas the truth is revealed for a most happy, funny and musical climatic moments true to the fasion of those great MGM musicals. This light operatta has one beautiful number after another with my favorite song "My hero". This is filmed in beautful black & white and the sound for it's time is still very strong and powerful. A great film that is in every sense a true romantic musical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Music!..Eddy excells! Rise is excellent!, August 4, 2009
By Operafilly (Fallbrook, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
Far from his earlier wooden acting, Eddy plays 2 roles beautifully, one being his own Russian rival. So he's wooing from both side's to test his wife's faithfulness. He sings Song of the Flea to start the test. Rise teases him mercelessly thru the movie to teach him a lesson.

Lots of funny scenes and fine singing including Rise's Evening Star and lighter fare with the title music by Oscar Straus

I love Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald together, so I was prepared to be disappointed in this movie where his co-star is Rise Stevens. Read more
