ChrisCSH H The love parade is a beautifully made and funny and charming Academy award nominee from 1930. The beautiful acting in the film along with the romance, and the comedy is way ahead of its time and definitely one of the greatest musical comedies ever made. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Louisa E I was nervous about this movie as I'm not a Maurice Chevalier fan. I'm also not a Jeanette Macdonald fan either. I felt like I had seen the movie before, but it's just that it has many of the same actors as The Big Pond. The butler singing at the start was quite fun. There were some good comedic moments. I liked the lady's face after the gunshot scene. There were some very risqué moments. I take issue a little with the ending due to slightly feminist leanings but it was pretty expected for the time. The acting was quite good. Jeanette's singing is fantastic, even though I can't understand the lyrics. I softened towards Maurice during the movie, and now I am a fan of his, but just not his singing. He looks like a good hugger. The sound was very innovative for its time. It's often touted as the first real musical. The cinematography was good, and the costumes were divine! A must-watch for fans of old musicals or those interested in their history.

This wa also released in French. Chevalier had thought he would never be capable of acting as a Royal courtier. This appeared just after the Wall Street Crash and saved the fortunes of Paramount. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review peter w In what is considered to be the first cinematic musical, the fourth wall is regularly broken to draw in the in audience. The story line had some parallels to the depiction of Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in The Crown. The big difference, however, is that in the real world, the queen does have the last word and needs to use it strategically.
