Naughty Marietta and Rose Marie are two of the best films ever made. Their plot is similar, but both have great songs, scenery, and costumes. I never tired of watching these two movies. I wish they would come out in digitally remastered dvds.
Naughty Marietta has a slow beginning that shows her in tune with the common man, although she is a princess. Not wanting to marry the man chosen for her, she runs to America. Rescued from pirates by Nelson Eddie, she ends up in New Orleans. Not wishing to marry, she works in a marianette theater until her uncle comes from France to get her. Nelson Eddie rescues her and they flee into the wilderness.
