Audience Member I loved this. Maybe that's because I also love 18th century French clothing, good music, and romance. (and beautiful people!) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The singing lovebirds warble some of Sigmund Romberg's greatest hits: "One Kiss," "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise," "Stout-Hearted Men," "Wanting You," "Lover Come Back To Me" - but the film itself is a rather pale imitation of NAUGHTY MARIETTA. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Luved it & cant wait to see more of them when they come out.... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why this picture showed up I wanted the Twilight Saga New Moon Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member well i meant the twilight saga one anyway that movie was awesomeness Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member uh wrong movie but i will check it out first then see if its good.
