Very stage bound early musical of that grand theatrical tradition. I felt that worked for the movie, giving it almost a fairytale atmosphere. And the story was of what we associate with fairytales as a drunken vagabond becomes royalty. Dennis King gave movies a few tries without getting over very well, but here he's quite good. Especially when given the chance to sing with Jeanette MacDonald, already the screen songbird. But it got to be said, she got heavy competition from Lillian Roth!
