i must say and i find this movie very disappointing . yes and i know maltin give it 3 half and others think very highly of it . but and well and the opera sequence be god awful . i take it jeannete macdonald be an acquired taste . yes and in the short sequence i have see her with nelson eddy and she be immensely preferable to him . but on her own . god and i dislike opera and despise operetta and and she be basically intolerable . at one point i have to cover my ear . gable be just ok and and tracy be throw away . the plot be annoy in the jm never simply tell gable she love him and the opera and why can not she do both . instead she suffer silently ( or not so ) with the compromise she make . the support cast be distinctly unmemorable . besides the star three and jack holt ( and i suppose his mother ) and they all be just background and forgettable . the eq sequence be the only thing that save the movie . and just . yes and it be fairly spectacular and move . but the oh god be great seem very contrived . i immensely prefer in old chicago as far a old time disaster spectacular go . spare yourself on this one .
