22% off (Sale price $15.59, Reg. Price $19.99) :: 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 IIIâs Paris. Paul (Eddy) is an American voice student, homesick and penniless. They meet and fall in love. Unfortunately, she has just accepted Nazaroffâs proposal of marriage. Hailed by The New York Times as âa picture to treasure,â Maytimeâs many highlights include Sigmund Rombergâs lovely theme song, âWill You Remember? (Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart)â, the superb Russian opera sequence adapted from Tchaikovskyâs âFifth Symphonyâ and the ghostly, flower-strewn finale, one of motion-picture historyâs most touching scenes.
