Customer Rating: - Nelson Eddy's lush baritone as delightful as ever!
I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw this movie- somewhere I'd gotten the impression that it wasn't going to be as enjoyable as other MacEddy movies, which just wasn't so. Nelson's voice is as luscious as ever and he is just as debonair and romantic in his portrayal of the swashbuckling Ramerez. Jeanette's character is less coquettish and more open and trusting than her usual which was a nice change. Ramerez, stolen from his own family as a baby, becomes the infamous leader of a group of mexican bandits (his own more trusting instincts becoming stifled when his adoptive father is shot while offering help to white settlers.) The plot develops delightedly as Ramerez falls for Mary, who owns the local saloon and is being courted by the town's sheriff, who in turn is trying to track down Ramerez (echoes of Rose Marie but with a twist.) Girl of the Golden West may not have produced any musical hits but Jeanette and Nelson's numbers are still entrancing, especially Jeanette's version of Liebestraum. (And who can resist the grand dance production, Mariachi, along with Nelson's song Dance With Me and spectacular exit from that scene.) Truly as delightful as any Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald movie!

Customer Rating: - This movie has a terrific plot and a really good story.
The story is set during the settling of the wild west. A young boy sees a young girl singing at the settlers campfire, then never sees her again until they're both grown. Only he doesn't know it's the same girl and she already has her hands full of suitors.
