Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy pair up once again in the film version of the popular Sigmund Romberg operetta about a Parisian belle who becomes involved with a political prisoner. In 18th century Louisiana, haughty plantation owner Marianne de Beaumanoir (MacDonald) and her handsome bondservant Charles (Eddy), who is actually a French nobleman in disguise, are thrown together when Charles commandeers a ship carrying Marianne and a cargo of mail-order brides. Romance, adventure--and the French Revolution--ensue. The soaring Romberg musical score includes such favorites as "One Kiss," "Stout-Hearted Men," "Lover Come Back to Me," "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," and "Wanting You."
