Rosalie

A film with a somewhat overlong runtime, but otherwise an excellent affair. The ideal is Nelson Eddy, the main protagonist is the exceptional tap-dancing wonder Eleanor Powell, and among the Hollywood debutantes, we find a Hungarian esprit with the name Ilona Massey. In the next film Balalaika, Ilona replaced Nelson's main partner. She was obviously universally liked. Rosalie is otherwise based on the musical operetta by George Gershwin and Sigmund Romberg, which in 1928 was embellished with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and P.G. Wodehouse, with all of the material significantly reworked for the film by Cole Porter, and therefore we get something truly lavish to enjoy. (04/04/2022)
