5 out of 5 stars A Musical Masterpiece   June 18, 2009
Terry L. Stuart (State College, PA.)
I watched this movie for the first time recently and I loved every minute of it. The scenery was filmed in the Canadian Rockies and it is so beautiful. Jeannette and Nelson meet and fall in love. There are several songs in this movie, of which my favorite is "Indian Love Call". Jeannette is an opera singer in parts of the movie. She has a wide range to her singing voice and at one time she holds a very high note for about 30 to 45 seconds. Jeannette and Nelson are invited to watch an Indian tribe do a traditional dance. If you have watched the movie, "King Kong" and saw the dance that the tribe does when Faye Wray and Robert Armstrong and the crew get off the boat and come on land, the Indian dance in "Rose Marie" is alot like the other dance. This dance is very interesting to watch as the tradition of the dance unfolds. There is a very heartwarming scene where Nelson stands in the front of the house and looks up at Jeannette's open window and sings to her. She hears him singing and comes to the window to listen.Their love for each other grows in this scene. Another scene shows both of them in a paddleboat and he sings "Indian Love Call" to her and does it with such emotion. Jeannette is following another man while they are riding horses. He enters the river without any trouble, but when Jeannette follows him into the water she falls off of the horse and yells for help. Nelson sees her and quickly he goes and frees her from the river. Nelson pulls a tricky stunt on her telling her that he is leaving. He mounts onto his horse and starts riding away with the other man beside him. Jeannette soon feels alone and she walks up the hill to the road where she sings "Indian Love Call" to him to try to get his attention. He hears her singing and it touches his heart but he keeps on riding. As he keeps riding he can still hear her voice. Then he hears her crying as she sings to him, but he keeps on riding. After a little while he decides to go back to her. When they meet they sing the song to each other with such deep feelings of love, then the movie ends. I think Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are two of my favorite singers. I watched the movie, "Naughty Marietta", which they made 2 years before, and I quickly became a fan of theirs. I love Nelson's voice very much also. Because of the love they had for each other and the sound of their voices as they sang, I cried most of the way through the movie. If you enjoy Jeannette and Nelson you should definitely buy the movie and watch it for yourself. This is such a beautiful film. Oscar HammersteinII wrote the music for it. I hope this movie won an Oscar because it sure deserves it. The movie, "Maytime" is good also, but "Rose Marie" tops all of the films that they made. Get it and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

Do you remember what falling in love feels like. Well this movie is a
all time winner...loved it 40 years ago and today as a Adult the impact
is even greater today...Love is a powerfull emotion, and this movie shines
a light on the subject, beautifully played by Nelson and Jeanette....


5 out of 5 stars Indian Love Call Classic   November 21, 2005

If ever a film deserved the label "classic romance," Rose Marie is the one. It starts out kinda slow, but gradually builds to a heartwrenching climax. Marie de Flor (Jeanette MacDonald) is an opera star who learns her brother, John Flower (James Stewart) has escaped from prison, allegedly killing a Canadian Royal Mounted Police in the process, and is in hiding. De Flor hires an Indian guide to take her to him. Along the way into the Canadian wilderness, she meets up with Sgt. Bruce (Nelson Eddy), the Mounty tracking down her brother. She starts to give him a false name, "Rose . . ." but he recognizes her as a star, and assumes her full name is Rose Marie de Flor. Sgt. Bruce is immediately attracted to de Flor, but before long he guesses her relationship Flower, his prey. It's one of the all time classic dilemmatic situations as love develops between the two, who are each using the other to their own, opposite ends. De Flor depends on Bruce to survive the rugged trek through the wilderness, not knowing how much he knows; he expects her to lead him to her brother, while pretending to be along to protect her. I don't think it's ever been done more effectively, with "Indian Love Call" adding a haunting effect all the while. The cast also includes Reginald Owen, Alan Mowbray, Una O'Connor, and David Niven in an early, one scene, bit part.


5 out of 5 stars Poignant and haunting...   August 25, 2004

There is poignancy at the heart of this movie. It's a love story and love comes at a high price. Rose Marie, like many Eddy-MacDonald films, is filled with love and loss, yearning and sacrifice. The final scene of Rose Marie demonstrates these characteristics perhaps better than any of their other movies. This is a fine film, but it is dated and should be viewed in the context of its time. There are laughs, romance, bittersweet moments and beautiful, heart-felt singing. The MacDonald-Eddy chemistry is magical. This is a movie that should not be overlooked or forgotten. It will stay with you after you've seen it.


5 out of 5 stars Entertainment at its best   December 30, 2003

Rose Marie has it all. Wonderful music, a great story. Good clean entertainment. As for acting, this is Jeanette's and Nelson's best. It is also the first movie Jimmy Stewart was in.
2 of my favorite scenes is when Jeanette and Nelson are in the canoe and he is singing to her. They other scene is she is hungry and he his cooking beans. The looks on their faces are perfectly acted.
