DVD Talk calls it "the best musical of the early-talkie era" and says, "even film fans who normally don't like musicals will enjoy Love Me Tonight for its enormous wit".

(I am having problems with Google and commenting as myself, if any weird looking comments just came your way. It´s all about university email being run by Google, too... anyway:) This looks like a delightful film. I fast-forwarded to the song and it does bring a smile. :-) I like the sincerity of these old happy-movies. Something like this can´t be made anymore without a huge seasoning of irony.
ReplyDeleteNo weird comments showed up, so maybe google hides its mistakes from us. This movie is the perfect example of light-hearted comedy with a happy ending. So much fun :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of Myrna Loy, so when I saw she was in this movie, I had to peruse it. I love "feel good" movies and this one does just that!
ReplyDeleteI agree, a real "feel good" movie :)
