JEANETTE MacDONALD & NELSON EDDY sing 'PRETTY AS A PICTURE'.wmv

Another song from the 1938 film 'SWEETHEARTS' and another great tune from Victor Herbert. His stage show 'Sweethearts' was first performed in 1913 and proved a big hit. The 1938 film showcased the MacDonald/Eddy partnership. Both were in fine voice and MacDonald showed there was more to her than just a voice by demonstrating her talent for comedy and dancing.

Ah, the era of wonderful musicals and lush production. And Nelson and Jeanette. Lovely!

[@cinnie1818]

I've watched there pictures so many times lost count. My 2 absolutely favorite singers.

[@LEETZENA]

Two of the very greatest singers ever to grace the screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Margotxmargot]

2:41 HE'S BLOWING AT HER EAR/NECK AND HER REACTION IS SO ADORABLE AND THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!!!!!! I bet that wasn't on the script.

[@eileenelliott6292]

I’d loved to have known what Louis B Mayer thought about that!!!

[@gruzdeva]

[@barbbrasgirl8]

My favorite song from Sweethearts. Thank you, Anne.

[@19401341]

Two very, very beautiful people.

[@allen2905]

Love watching them interact!!

[@MinstrelSurfer]

They made a lovely partnership on screen. definitely complemented each other, in looks and vocally. Always. pleasure to see and hear! Good of you to comment, Allen.

[@karenpinner5913]

There was definitely something between them...Beautiful couple!

[@alvexok5523]

They were really in love in real life. And when Janette passed away in the 1960s, Nelson was so struck down from it and he passed away less than a year later. They say that couples truly in love pass pretty close to each other. My great grandparents both died within 3 months of each other

[@stellajennings2265]

Fab I Love This pair They were true artists and seem so much in love .

[@AngelaM55]

Just delightful, thank you for posting. Great movie (and love) making by two of the most talented and good looking people to have ever worked in Hollywood.

[@SuperArkleo]

I cannot agree more. This is heaven as many times as you watch this clip. Many thanks for posting it. What a delight!

[@John_Fugazzi]

It was really fun seeing Jeanette and Nelson in a contemporary time period. I wish they had continued in this vein after Sweethearts.

[@JulianneHannes]

Such chemistry

[@paacer]

Julianne Hannes I was thinking exactly the same . Then again they were madly in love .

[@funwithkendalljones220]

paacer me too

[@maxinebombara7024]

The love is there for all to see, Nelson just adore Her,I love them singing together.

[@christinebradley3306]

This song is my very favorite from this movie! Its so wonderful to watch the interaction between these two lovely people. No doubt about that relationship. Thanks for posting this. I'm a lifelong fan and own every single movie they made together and separately.

[@billkerr5010]

At this time they were expecting a child together love for each other is so evident absolutely divine this is a good lesson not to give up on people who you love and cherish they did that their whole life together

[@MinstrelSurfer]

What a lovely comment, Bill. Thanks for sharing this story. I do agree with you that love between two people is wonderful and this song just illustrates that. There are some great songs which the pair sang together and separately........songs which endure and express true emotion. Glad to enjoyed this clip.

[@thomasburr8518]

Just a small taste of heaven on earth.

Wspaniały Duet Jeanette MacDonald i Nelsona Eddy.

[@patricioarriagada8683]

Exrraordinria pareja del cine musical. Han sido siempre mis favoritos. Estuvieron ellos alguna vez enamorados? Epoca del cine maravilloso, que creo nunca volvera.

[@alvexok5523]

No habla English?

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

Si fueron enamorados pero la MGM no acepto el enamoro dellos y obrigo el casamento de Jeanette con Gene Raymond.Nelson fue al casamiento muito triste. Cuando Jeanette murio en 14 de enero de 1965 del corazon Nelson quedo arrasado .El murio tambien del corazon en 6 de março de 1967 en Miami.El estaba cantando en un show con Gale Sherwood cuando tubo un ataque cardíaco. Fue levado al hospital.y murio al dia seguinte.Nunca acepto la muerte de Jeanette el.gran amor de su vida

[@edwardgunyo3638]

All I can say.... wonderful, I am so sorry she died in 1965 and Nelson passed away in Australia a few years later of heart failure. They both loved each other.

[@eileenelliott6292]

Nelson didn’t pass away in Australia. He had a brain haemorrhage while he was singing in Miami and died in the hospital next morning at 7am. Just how he wanted to go.

[@johniovine1512]

and she is pretty as a picture lol listen to him sing it and her too

[@rubberdc]

I 've never seen this picture but i will look for it now.thankyou for showing it

[@maryw246]

Who could ever say they were not totally in love. This is one of my favorites.

Bardzo fajna składanka , ale w większości filmy są złej jakości:-(. W dobie cyfrowej jakości chyba można to naprawić.)? Dziękuję za tę ucztę musicalową :-)

[@Sometime4781]

When Romance was important.

[@John_Fugazzi]

Does anyone know the name of the big Dutch Windmill number from Sweethearts? I'm looking for it everywhere on You Tube but can't find it.

[@biggerock]

+John Fugazzi I'm a year later, writing this response to you, but I believe the name of the song is "Jeanette and her Two Wooden Shoes"

[@John_Fugazzi]

+Carl L. Thank you. i wish someone would post it.

[@margaritalorenz9350]

They were not involved off screen but certainly admired each other. They are very talented. Nelson is very handsome. and they are iconic as far as the movies go.

[@alvexok5523]

Actually, they were really in love, and did have romance together behind the scenes

[@ericjackson9508]

They were in love off screen, many years, can't ya see it❣

[@shirlthegirl631]

Actually, they were very much a couple. Jeanette is carrying their baby, and you can even see a baby bump in the dancing scene. You may find the book “Sweethearts” by Sharon Rich an interesting and factual read, complete with sources.

[@denisemorrell8212]

She was pregnant with his son during this time

[@thephantom1946]

@Margaret Hale No, it was not in the script ;-)

[@MrAlexsegal]

Does anyone know who wrote this song? My guess is that the tune is by Victor Herbert and the words by Richard Wright and Robert Forrest.
