Love Me Tonight (1932)
Watching the beginning of Love Me Tonight is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. You’ll either enjoy it, or you’ll laugh at how silly it is – but laughing is still smiling! I found the corny musical delightful, but I understand it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. Similar to Beauty and the Beast, a boisterous village street in France sings their good mornings to the audience. The number ends in a modest tailor’s shop, where a happy-go-lucky tailor, Maurice Chevalier, greets the day.
In this tongue-in-cheek period piece, Maurice falls in love with a princess, Jeanette MacDonald, and has to pretend to be high-class to woo her. There are lots of adorable songs, and charm present in every scene. This early musical features Maurice’s iconic number “Mimi”. Whenever I’m feeling blue, I just have to watch him sing “Mimi” with an endless twinkle in his eye and his constant grin; it perks me up in just a few seconds. In the supporting cast, you’ll see Myrna Loy, Charles Ruggles, C. Aubrey Smith, Charles Butterworth, and Elizabeth Patterson. You do have to be in the mood for something silly, but if you are, I highly recommend Love Me Tonight. He’s ridiculous sometimes, but Maurice is extremely entertaining.
