All dressed up for a “Naughty Marietta” publicity still!.... except the Captain is in his Colonial uniform and his Marietta is dressed in her French ball gown! But if you listen carefully you can almost hear them singing…. 

"Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life"

Here we find our lovers on the set of the first “Maytime” listening to advice from director Edmund Gould. Not only was the footage for this version scrapped, but we also lost the lovely song “Farewell to Dreams”.

Listen to it now….


"Farewell to Dreams"

No half-Nelson here….he holds on with both hands. “Sweethearts” is the first color film for our duo and more contemporary than the others.

Jeanette’s wardrobe was designed by Adrian and altered a bit to accommodate an expected weight gain. Sadly the unexpected happened.

"Song of Love"

Two sad people pretending to be happy….they called it acting…their fans called it heartbreaking. There were no duets because Jeanette couldn’t sing with Nelson without crying. Holding her hand while he sang to her was Nelson’s only consolation.

"Who Are We To Say"

Jeanette and Nelson had been promised Technicolor but got the same old, same old. So here is the color they missed. It was also another picture with a lot of lost footage and
a change of directors. They lost “Woody” Van Dyke to the Marines but got “Pop” Leonard to look out for them.

Listen while Jeanette calls for her lost love….

"Lover, Come back To Me"

This was the second Technicolor movie for our duo.
A Hollywood version of a Noel Coward play, here Jeanette and Nelson co-star with Vienna but never leave the back lot. But look out for a treacherous George Sanders. However, the music is timeless.

I'll See You Again

Two versions of this film was shot because of Britain’s law that forbid angels from being depicted on screen. Jeanette didn’t mind being non-angelic and shedding her wings for jolly old England….they weighed
forty pounds.
