I love this movie so much

Perfectly adorable

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

For anyone who enjoys musicals this is a must-see. It's more like an operetta than a big, splashy MGM musical. The script is precise and witty. The songs amplify and reveal character. Maurice Chevalier is just right as the tailor who is mistaken for a nobleman. Jeannette McDonald is warm and believable. The maiden-aunt chorus is hilarious. They don't get much better than this.

That is not to knock The Love Parade, One Hour With You and The Merry Widow(Merry Widow is an extremely close second) because they are all excellent too. But while it may lack the Lubitsch touch or be as ground-breaking as The Love Parade(though Love Me Tonight is still influential when it comes to musicals), Love Me Tonight just struck me as being tinsy bit better, the quality between the four films though is very close though. It is elegantly shot with some very clever camera work in Sonofagun is Nothing But a Tailor and with an Expressionistic touch in places and has very sumptuous set and costume design. Rodgers and Hart's score and songs are just sublime, some of their best work, Isn't It Romantic? is irresistibly beautiful and inventively choreographed. The script is often hilarious and filled with sophisticated charm and witty rhymes with some of the dialogue refreshingly ahead of its time, particularly noteworthy is Myrna Loy's pre-censorship response to "could you go for a doctor?". The story is immensely charming, warm-hearted and never with a dull moment, doing very cleverly to avoid becoming stage-bound or contrived with a story that in different hands could easily have been. The choreography is done with much poise and invention and while no Lubitsch(one of the primary reasons why The Love Parade really broke ground, and he had a style of his own) the direction still has great technical skill and plenty of class with some clever touches. Maurice Chevalier has great comic timing, is very natural on screen and has unsurpassed joie-de-vivre and Jeanette MacDonald proves to be a perfect partner for him in a beguilingly acted and sung performance. The supporting roles are very well-taken, special mention going to the uproarious turn of Myrna Loy, and no it's not just for that pre-censorship response or her delivery of it. Overall, really wonderful and the best of the already incredibly high-standard Chevalier and MacDonald outings. 10/10 Bethany Cox

A Parisian tailor (Maurice Chevalier) finds himself posing as a baron in order to collect a sizable bill from an aristocrat, only to fall in love with an aloof young princess.This film is amazing and perhaps one of the most under-rated of its era. The humor is wonderful, the acting is great, the songs catchy, the dialogue witty... and even a bit edgy at times (with Maurice suggesting his mother was a loose woman).The music here is quite good, and maybe even have inspired industrial music of all things. The opening song, using common street sounds to make a tune is very clever and never repeated again to such a full effect.

Worth seeing alone for having C Aubrey Smith sing "Mimi" (which he does charmingly), this is a great great movie, full of innovation, humour and some memorable songs (Mimi and Is It Romantic in particular).  The obvious career move for Rouben Mamoulian after directing "Dr Jeckyl"? - I don't think so but maybe Mamoulian may have gotten stale if he had directed something similar. He is not stale here, with his touches enhancing and not detracting from the impact of the movie. Certainly it is slightly flawed and dated in parts as some have commented but there is genius and magic in it that make for an enchanting movie. This is something I desire in movies but only rarely get. This is the best commendation that I can give - and nothing more I need to say.
