New Moon (1940) -- (Movie Clip) Wanting You Now in New Orleans, Charles (Nelson Eddy) is the revolutionary nobleman posing as a servant to aristocrat Marianne, (Jeanette MacDonald), who agrees with everyone that he’s way too refined to be plausible, the big song from the Sigmund Romberg/Oscar Hammerstein II operetta ensuing, in MGM’s New Moon, 1940.

Girl Of The Golden West, The (1938) -- (Movie Clip) Liebestraum Mary (Jeanette MacDonald) clears the way for the professor (Brandon Tynan) to play in the saloon then joins him in "Liebestraum," to Franz Liszt's melody, in The Girl Of The Golden West, 1938.

Desert Song, The (1944) -- (Movie Clip) Step Out Of The Sun Joining the uncommonly complex early exposition, we’ve barely met Dennis Morgan, a guy who shares bathing facilities in Morocco with a reporter (Lynne Overman), then the new singer in town (Irene Manning) converses with her boss (Nestor Paiva) and a French colonel (Bruce Cabot), in Warner Bros.’ The Desert Song, 1944.

Desert Song, The (1944) -- (Movie Clip) You Talk Like An American In a still nameless Moroccan city, piano player Paul (Dennis Morgan), whom we suspect might support the local rebels, has a friendly joust with Margot (Irene Manning), the new singer from France, who is friendly but seems to still prefer the French officer Fontaine (Bruce Cabot), in The Desert Song, 1944.

Maytime (1937) -- (Movie Clip) Mademoiselle Mornay Miss Mornay (Jeanette MacDonald, in an epic flashback), with Nicolai (John Barrymore) then performing selections from Les Hugenots for the court of Louis Napoleon, in MGM's Maytime, 1937.

Deep In My Heart (1954) -- (Movie Clip) The Music Of Sigmund Romberg An unusual opening from MGM, as the studio orchestra begins a de facto tribute to the composer and subject of the bio-pic, until it’s revealed that it’s an actor, leading man Jose Ferrer, who plays Sigmund Romberg, conducting, in Deep In My Heart, 1954, Stanley Donen directing.

Deep In My Heart (1954) -- (Movie Clip) You Will Remember Vienna Sometime around 1910, New York, opera star Helen Trabuel as the employer of Jose Ferrer, who plays immigrant composer Sigmund Romberg, subject of the bio-pic, who then tangles with a roughneck American promoter (David Burns) early in MGM’s Deep In My Heart, 1954.
