Quiz
When first sold to television in 1957, this film was retitled Parisian Belle in order to avoid confusion with Luna nuova (1940), which was also in the same package of over 700 MGM titles. However, whereas Parisian Belle would have been an appropriate title for the 1940 version, which followed more closely the original story, it was a misnomer for this 1930 version whose locale had been moved to Russia, and whose heroine, the Parisian Belle of the stage play and 1940 version, had now become a Russian princess. But it was so seldom broadcast at that time that nobody seemed to notice or care. Its first, and perhaps only telecast in New York City occurred on the Late, Late Show Monday 22 September 1958 on WCBS (Channel 2); in San Francisco it first aired Tuesday 1 March 1960 on KGO (Channel 7). Since that time, its original title has been restored, and its safely housed in the Turner Classic Film Library, from which it is occasionally aired on Turner Classic Movies.

Blooper
The credits list "New Moon" as the title of the original operetta, but its title was "The New Moon".

Citazioni

Strengths and Weaknesses

Lawrence Tibbett and Grace Moore meet on board the New Moon, crossing the Caspian Sea, bound for Adolph Menjou's newest assignment and marriage to Miss Moore. Of course the two great singers fall in love singing duets. Menjou gets wind and looks to get Tibbett resassigned some place he can't pose a threat.

MGM made some peculiar changes when they filmed the hit operetta (it had played over 500 performances on Broadway). They changed its setting from New Orleans to the Russian Empire for one thing. Well, exotic Russia was a popular setting for drama and comedy in the period. Cameraman Oliver Marsh struggles to keep his camera moving, leaving most of the struggle for cinematic excellence to Margaret Booth's editing. Also, Mr. Tibbett is a funny-looking fellow, with an obvious hairpiece and a double chin. He's not at all anyone's idea of what a romantic leading man should be.

Still when the leads start to sing, I forgot these issues. While the stye of music that Sigmund Romberg wrote for this show is strident, it includes the martial "Stout-Hearted Men" and the splendid "Lover Come Back To Me."
