Naughty Marietta
in reply to a message by Orsino
I think of the 1935, Jeanette McDonald / Nelson Eddy movie. It's set in 1800's New Orleans and has plenty of blood curdling operettas like, "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life." (Anyone who's ever seen Madeline Kahn in "Young Frankenstein" will recall this little ditty.) Anyway, I've always thought Marietta was a cute, peppy, underutilized classic. It's got Old Hollywood stamped all over it for me.
The only downside is the Marriott chain of hotels. Marionettes are a cute association to me. But the corporate thing with Marriott puts me off a bit. Still, I'd give Marietta the thumbs up. :-)
