Review title: More Bitter Than Sweet
Product review: If music was the only criterion for MacDonald/Eddy movies, I'd have to say this movie still could not have made it. Colorful but ponderous, with little plot and non-redemptive scripting, Noel Coward let us down on all fronts. Karl (Nelson Eddy) and Sarah (Jeanette MacDonald) are young newlyweds who flee the establishment to Vienna to live on love with little money. He is a struggling writer, she is the favored singer in 19th century Victorian high society. This spawns trouble for the happy couple when Saxony Baron George Sanders tries to seduce the lovely chanteuse. A duel follows, like none I'd ever seen...it was over before it began. I would have hoped dirctor Van Dyke II could have managed a few fencing lessons for Nelson Eddy to make the scene less clumsy. Of the eight films the couple made together, I see "BitterSweet" as the only missed opportunity.....
