Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "Rosalie" glistens in Black/White
"Rosalie" is a shimmering escapist movie that glistens - even in black and white. Production numbers are exceptional, with reminders throughout the story of a fantasy decade of lacy satins, patent leather buckled tap shoes, and gossamer nights.

No magical chemistry here between the lead players, as in MacDonald/Eddy films before and after, but a very pleasant 1930s love story between a West Point football hero, Dick Thorpe (Nelson Eddy) and an incognito Princess attending Vassar, ... Read More
