Buy This Item Rose Marie (1936) by MGM (Warner)  Available from Amazon  $19.98  on 9-20-2008     If ever a film deserved the label "classic romance," Rose Marie is the one. It starts out kinda slow, but gradually builds to a heartwrenching climax. Marie de Flor (Jeanette MacDonald) is an opera star who learns her brother, John Flower (James Stewart) has escaped from prison, allegedly killing a Canadian Royal Mounted Police in the process, and is in hiding. De Flor hires an Indian guide to take her to him. Along the way into the Canadian wilderness, she meets up with Sgt. Bruce (Nelson Eddy), the Mounty tracking down her brother. She starts to give him a false name, "Rose . . ." but he recognizes her as a star, and assumes her full name is Rose Marie de Flor. Sgt. Bruce is immediately attracted to de Flor, but before long he guesses her relationship Flower, his prey. It's one of the all time classic dilemmatic situations as love develops between the two, who are each using the other to their own, opposite ends. De Flor depends on Bruce to survive the rugged trek through the wilderness, not knowing how much he knows; he expects her to lead him to her brother, while pretending to be along to protect her. I don't think it's ever been done more effectively, with "Indian Love Call" adding a haunting effect all the while. The cast also includes Reginald Owen, Alan Mowbray, Una O'Connor, and David Niven in an early, one scene, bit part. Reader Reviews Do you remember what falling in love feels like. Well this movie is a all time winner...loved it 40 years ago and today as a Adult the impact is even greater today...Love is a powerfull emotion, and this movie shines a light on the subject, beautifully played by Nelson and Jeanette....
