Love Me Tonight

Posted 30 September 2007 in screencaps Screening log

Rating


1932 - US

Director
Rouben Mamoulian

Starring
Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Myrna Loy

Was Rouben Mamoulian a genius? Based on this and the very different (& beloved to me) Queen Christina, I’d say he might just be. This is an endlessly entertaining, intelligent, rewarding musical romance, bursting at the seams with gags and little winks, all right on the mark. Amazing, and adorable.

about
Lauren, 25, out-of-work librarian. At the moment, TLC is but a review blog and catalogue of my film-related perversions. I always plan to do more with it — and to one day step outside 30s Hollywood again. Who knows?
