Except for a few shots where she was doubled by Audrey Scott, Jeanette MacDonald did most of her own horseback riding.

Zitate
Sarah Millick, later Sari Linden: [over a very sparse dinner] Oh well, maybe it's all for the best. I hear more people die from overeating than from any other cause.
Carl Linden: I bet we'll be immortal, then. I hate Herr Weiller.
Sarah Millick, later Sari Linden: I hate the market keeper.
Carl Linden: I hate the landlord.
Sarah Millick, later Sari Linden: That's not fair, *I* was going to hate the landlord. *You* hate Herr Weiller again.

Noël Coward operetta

It's 19th century Austria. Music teacher Carl Linden (Nelson Eddy) and his star pupil Sarah Milick (Jeanette MacDonald) are in love. They run off to Vienna to escape her arranged marriage. They struggle to make it. They are literally teaching for food. Baron von Tranisch (George Sanders) takes a liking to Sarah.

This is based on a Noël Coward operetta and apparently, he hated this. It's not my type of music and this starts at a deficit. It doesn't help that the songs aren't that catchy or memorable. I don't particularly care about this couple. The story would work better with a younger Sarah. I'm not looking for a larger age difference. More naivety works better for the story. It did get a couple of Oscar noms for Cinematography and Art Direction. I can see that, but I'm not impressed.
