Nelson Eddy falling off the barrel is the only moment of this operatic calamity worth noting. Granted, Eddy is much easier on the ears than the shrill Ms. Macdonald, who quite literally, if you're not an absolute lover of her voice, can cause your ear drums to turn on your brain like pieces of broken glass.
One of the most painful of MGM musicals. If there's a story here you'll probably find it at the bottom of Lake TeePee. I'm a Canadian and this depiction of Mounties and Indian culture is wince inducing with or without the singing. I could have tolerated the singing and the lack of story, and the Hollywood cheesiness of it all, if there was at least some wit or screwball comedy along the way, but apart from Eddy's pratfall off the barrel this is just a big barrel of noise.
