Is her singing voice really all that great? Can she act her way out a wet paper-bag?
Who cares?!

She learned her lines, and is a pleasure to behold.
You rang? For the answer, I contacted our old pal, Jack Burley. Jeanette MacDonald sings the Jewel Song from Gounoud's opera Faust, and then they go on to show a bunch of highlights from the opera. It was a good choice, right? Not only to show off MacDonald, but because the Faustian theme reflects so many themes of the movie itself. Later in the flick, she sings "Sempre Libera" from Verdi's La Traviata (same story on which the movies Camille were based).Anne wrote:Does anyone know what opera that last section was from? The one where Clark actually listens to her sing, and goes and knocks out the process server. HEY, MR. RUBIIIIINNNNNIIIII, you must know.
