- Outstandingly outstanding!
I can't really add very much to what the other two reviewers have said about Love Me Tonight. It is one of the best musicals ever made, very witty, excellently filmed and scored, and remarkable for its use of sound for both dramatic and comic effect.

It is interesting to read the various censorship notes, included on the disk and the objections voiced about certain parts of the film at the time of its release.

- Wonderful froth and outstanding songs
"Once upon a time there was a princess and a prince charming...who was not a prince but who was charming...and they lived happily ever after."

- A forgotten classic
This musical has everything: it's melodic, comic, heartwarming, and is undeniably very creative.

The opening 'Song of Paree', which is set to the sounds of Paris awakening, sets the tone for the whole piece, and Rouben Mamoulian's clever direction is evident in the sequence built around the song 'Isn't it Romantic', where the melody is passed from Maurice Chevalier, to a cab driver, a composer, a group of soldiers, a gypsy violinist, and finally ends up being heard by Jeanette MacDonald on her balcony. The use of Chevalier's shadow in 'I'm an Apache', and MacDonald's 'Lover' where she sings the final line of every verse to her horse, are also delightful.

Chevalier and McDonald prove to be charming leads, and are well-supported ... Read More:
