Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
jbarrow-27014 For anyone who enjoys musicals this is a must-see. It's more like an operetta than a big, splashy MGM musical. The script is precise and witty. The songs amplify and reveal character. Maurice Chevalier is just right as the tailor who is mistaken for a nobleman. Jeannette McDonald is warm and believable. The maiden-aunt chorus is hilarious. They don't get much better than this.
Antonius Block 'Love Me Tonight' is a charming and funny musical, starring Maurice Chevalier as a Parisian tailor who eventually meets and falls in love with a rich Princess played by Jeannette MacDonald. They're both strong and the cast includes the incomparable Myrna Loy in her first 'non-exotic' role, as well as C. Aubrey Smith as the Duke. All of the minor roles are well utilized, including three old ladies who chatter and gossip as they sew and try to cast spells ala the three witches in Macbeth (albeit good spells for the health of the Princess). The musical numbers are entertaining, the best of which is 'Isn't It Romantic?' sung early on by Chevalier, with the tune picked up by one of his customers as he heads out the door, passed along to a taxi driver and his fare, then by a group of soldiers who march, to a gypsy who plays it on a violin, and heard from a balcony by the Princess and sung by MacDonald. It's quite enchanting, and a tune which may stick in your head for awhile afterwards. 'The Son of a Gun Is Nothing But a Tailor' is also nicely performed, and seems years ahead of its time. The movie is chock full of nice touches, from the morning scenes and the 'music of the street' which open the movie, to Chevalier getting on a rambunctious horse for a hunt but then later protecting a deer, to the various witty lines and double entendres which pepper the script. Well done, and a nice (musical) romantic-comedy 1932-style.
gavin6942 A Parisian tailor (Maurice Chevalier) finds himself posing as a baron in order to collect a sizable bill from an aristocrat, only to fall in love with an aloof young princess.This film is amazing and perhaps one of the most under-rated of its era. The humor is wonderful, the acting is great, the songs catchy, the dialogue witty... and even a bit edgy at times (with Maurice suggesting his mother was a loose woman).The music here is quite good, and maybe even have inspired industrial music of all things. The opening song, using common street sounds to make a tune is very clever and never repeated again to such a full effect.
allans-7 Worth seeing alone for having C Aubrey Smith sing "Mimi" (which he does charmingly), this is a great great movie, full of innovation, humour and some memorable songs (Mimi and Is It Romantic in particular).  The obvious career move for Rouben Mamoulian after directing "Dr Jeckyl"? - I don't think so but maybe Mamoulian may have gotten stale if he had directed something similar. He is not stale here, with his touches enhancing and not detracting from the impact of the movie. Certainly it is slightly flawed and dated in parts as some have commented but there is genius and magic in it that make for an enchanting movie. This is something I desire in movies but only rarely get. This is the best commendation that I can give - and nothing more I need to say.
