The Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy magazine, Mac/Eddy Today, is now available in twelve book compilations containing the early, out-of-print issues. VOLUME 4: (Issues 14-17) covers their first film after Nelson's marriage, NEW MOON (1940). The original version was directed by Woody Van Dyke and co-starred Buster Keaton. Then Robert Z. Leonard took over as director, and the supporting cast and script were changed. Examples show the altered script and photos of several deleted scenes. Also, BITTERSWEET (1940), and why Noel Coward "disowned" the film; THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER (Nelson, Rise Stevens, 1941); SMILIN' THROUGH (Jeanette, Gene Raymond, 1941). Photo-filled, with rare interviews, includes the original color covers and a new introduction by author Sharon Rich.

This review is from: Mac/Eddy Today: Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy Magazine Compilations, Volume 4 (Paperback)
Mac/Eddy Today Magazines are the best information around on Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Sharon Rich is a longtime researcher on the lives of these two great stars. You can be assured that what you read about them is true. The articles are great along with fabulous photos. What more do you need? Settle back with a cup of tea and be transported back to another era! Oh, and make sure you have on one of their great LP's to make the time perfect!
