Springtime?!

I'm suddenly struck by a feeling of hope and light. Is spring approaching already? No! Then it must be the impending release of two DVD sets of previously unreleased musicals. Yippee!
On February 12, 2008 the Lubitsch musical set, featuring The Love Parade with Jeanette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier; Monte Carlo with MacDonald and Band Wagoneer Jack Buchanan (with ZaSu Pitts too!); The Smiling Lieutenant reunites MacDonald and Chevalier, along with Miriam Hopkins; and One Hour with You with -- you guessed it -- Chevalier and MacDonald.
They're legendary and I've never seen any of them. Anyone care to give me an introduction?
April 8, 2008 will see the release of Volume 3 of MGM Musicals - The Dream Factory. This one will include:
Broadway Melody of 1936
Born to Dance
Broadway Melody of 1938
Lady Be Good
Nancy Goes to Rio
Two Weeks with Love
Deep in My Heart
Hit the Deck
Kismet
Wow. It could be called "The Power of Powells" (except that it has that sad Kismet on there). Four Eleanor Powell films, followed by four Jane Powells. I hope this means Rosalie is forthcoming. Dolores Gray and Ann Sothern will season them well.
I'll start saving my pennies now.
