This had all the gold and glitter only MGM could give their big numbers, but the experience falls short. Following the great Maytime, Jeanette MacDonald does another operatic love movie. This time Nelson Eddy is exchanged for Allan Jones, and the two don't have the same chemistry. Neither did she with Warren William. In Maytime the songs set the tone to a powerful movie. In The Firefly, the songs feel off and out of place half the time. Doesn't help that the story never gains momentum.
