Of all of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald's movies, this one stands out as having such a variety of beautiful music. There are opera songs taken from many operas as well as "ordinary" songs. You may not remember any of the opera songs but the title song, "Maytime," will never leave your musical memory once you hear it.
Sometimes it's hard to "suspend disbelief" and not look at "actors" and "technique," but it's easy with this one. Nelson is very believable as the rollicking American with the gorgeous baritone voice and of course, Jeannette MacDonald in the role of a famous opera singer is totally on target.
You keep rooting for them to get together and honestly, you won't know until the very end! Sentimentalists--watch this wonderful movie.
