Trivia and QuotesQuotes Marie de Flor: That`s the worst orchestra and the worst conductor I`ve ever sung with!
[To the tenor]
Marie de Flor: And what was the idea of holding every high A longer than I did?!?Trivia Previously made as a silent film starring Joan Crawford, Rose-Marie (1928). Later remade in Technicolor starring Ann Blyth, Rose Marie (1954). Adapted from a Broadway play that opened on September 2, 1924 at the Imperial Theatre in New York and ran for 557 performances. MGM`s original intention was to film in Technicolor and to star Grace Moore. If these plans had gone through, this would have been MGM`s first feature length Technicolor film. However, Moore decided to pass on the film, Jeanette MacDonald was cast, photography switched to black-and-white, and this film became one of the biggest musical successes in MGM`s history. According to Louis B. Mayer biographer Charles Higham, Nelson Eddy was reportedly so jealous and insecure about potential competition from tenor Allan Jones that he asked that Jones` footage in the film be reduced; the studio agreed and cut what would have been Jones` only solo number in the film, the famous aria "E lucevan le stelle" from Giacomo Puccini`s "Tosca". Many reference books erroneously state that this film was shot in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. In fact, it was the remake of this movie, Rose Marie (1954), that was partially shot in Canada. | ||
