Jeanette MacDonald Nelson Eddy “Bitter Sweet” on DVD!
Another of the eight Jeanette MacDonald–Nelson Eddy films has been released on DVD!
Bitter Sweet is now available… It was their 7th film together and their second together in Technicolor.
Jeanette MacDonald’s “Smilin’ Through” on DVD!
The Jeanette MacDonald version of “Smilin’ Through” (1941), in Technicolor and co-starring her off-screen husband Gene Raymond, and Brian Aherne, has been released on DVD!
Jeanette looks beautiful in color playing dual roles. Trivia alert: the cameo she wears in this film was her own – a gift to her from Nelson Eddy. It belonged to his great-grandmother and he added diamonds to it.
The original cast of this project was supposed to be Jeanette with Robert Taylor and Jimmy Stewart. But Stewart joined the army and Taylor went on a two-month vacation with his wife, Barbara Stanwyck. Brian Ahern was signed to replace Jimmy Stewart. Gene Raymond wasn’t signed until after the first week of filming!
Nelson Eddy’s “Rosalie” available on DVD
Nelson Eddy’s 1937 film “ROSALIE” (co-starring Eleanor Powell) has been released on DVD by Warner Bros. (Yes, MGM mogul Louie B. Mayer would be turning over in his grave to know that his rival Warner Bros. now releases the MGM library on DVD!)
