Irreparably dated, caught between fairly impressive visuals and primitive sound design. There are several moments that remind you of a silent film, when ideas or emotions are efficiently represented by the image alone. Unfortunately the songs are bad and the romance is unsympathetic. Just boring.

A mediocre musical comedy. The songs were okay, but over-orchestrated. And I don't care at all for Jeanette MacDonald's voice, too showy and trilly. I didn't think Jack Buchanan was the dud that others accuse him of being, but he's no Maurice Chevalier either. The story is sufficiently engaging, particularly in the final act, and there are some clever moments of innuendo. Far from a classic, but not entirely a waste of time.
