Rating: - Last of the delightfull films of Nelson and Jeanette...love it
The films of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald have always held a special
place in my heart, cause they usually point to love and music. Films that
have affected audiences for a long time. They also made people feel better
in the dark days of war.
And today, they still make us feel good. There's a magical chemistry
when they are together. This only lasted 8 films, and Married to a
Angel was their last one. Saw it as a kid, and even today i still love
this ... Read More
Rating:  - ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY...
This is an absolutely charming fantasy film. I love it! Of course, since I was a child, I have always been partial to Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald films. Together, they made beautiful music. This film is particularly bittersweet, as it was their final film together, forever ending a wonderful musical chapter in Hollywood history.
Based upon the Rogers and Hart broadway hit, the film's plot is simple. Taking place in Budapest, a handsome and rich banker, thirty something playboy, Count William ... Read More
Rating:  - So awful it's good
I MARRIED AN ANGEL shows up on a lot of lists of the worst movies ever made, and the first thing that has to be acknowledged is that it truly is dreadful. As my daughter and I watched this, she kept screaming over and over, "This is so stupid!" And it is. I couldn't tell her that she was wrong. But . . . if you can get past the fact that the plot is absurd and the premise ridiculous, it can provide a lot of fun. The songs are good, even if the context is sometimes dreadful, the singing spirited, and the ... Read More
Rating: - I Married An Angel - MacDonald and Eddy's Last Hurrah
This movie is a cult classic for musical lovers. This was the last movie that Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy made together and you can see that the actors have matured and are comfortable with one another. The actors' facial expressions, body language and overall acting all combine to completely charm the watcher of this movie. Watch closely as Nelson and Jeanette look at each other at the birthday party -- it's enough to give you that little tingle that goes all the way down to your tummy! What a beautiful ... Read More
Rating: - Censors triumph over angels
Rodger's and Hart's spritely Broadway musical had originally been written for the screen in 1933 with Jeanette MacDonald as the intended Angel. When the code came in, a story about an angel who loses her wings on her wedding night became too risky, so R&H bought the property back from Paramount and did it on Broadway with Dennis King and Vivienne Segal. It was a huge hit, and many of its songs became classics. MGM bought the film rights for the MacDonald/Eddy team. But 1942 censors were no more sympathetic to the ... Read More
