Summary: Nelson Eddy Rides, and Sings, Again!
Comment: I gave this film 3 stars for Nelson Eddy who can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. One wonders, though, what the producers had in mind because the minor characters have more scenes and close-ups than the stars. The setting is interesting, a Russian colony on Northern California's coast in the early 1800's and Eddy is the law, working for the Russian government. Eddy is rugged and good-looking and his voice is in fine form singing Friml's "Nearer and Dearer" and "Love is the Time". At age 46, the singer does his own stunts, defeats the bad guys, one a slimy aristocrat who theatens the beautiful Hungarian actress,Ilona Masssey who also sings, but is no match for Eddy's booming baritone. Elsa Lanchester is wry and delightful as a princess who wins back the love of her wayward husband and also unites the lovers. I especially liked the last scene where Eddy rides his horse with the exquite blond beauty, Massey, on his lap. The kiss she gives him to get him to stop singing is just wonderful. This was Eddy's last film. He quit Hollywood and concentrated on his concerts, operas, and nightclub act with Gale Sherwood. At age 67, he collapsed on stage and his wonderful voice was stilled forever.
