Ah, sweet mystery of release dates! This is what we MacDonald-Eddy fans have been pondering all these years, wondering when Warner Brothers was going to break down and give us our beloved singing duo's films in one DVD collection. And this month they have!
Well, it's actually two collections but, huzzah! Now the "longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning" is over and we can sit down and enjoy these canaries when they were in their prime and looking grander than ever in glorious black and white.
Included in Volume One of Warner Archive's Jeanette MacDonald - Nelson Eddy Collection are their first four films : Naughty Marietta, Rose-Marie, Maytime and The Girl of the Golden West. And in Volume Two you will find Sweethearts, New Moon, Bitter Sweet and I Married an Angel.
The sets list for $40.99 USD each but if you head on over to the WB Shop you can find them selling for $32.49 USD. Now that's something to sing about.
My Dad was a big Nelson Eddy fan and would have enjoyed both of these collections (he liked JM, too!).
