Review of Rose Marie

Rose Marie (1954)
3/10
The worst remake I've ever seen.
13 July 2021
This is a poor excuse for a remake of the beautiful musical from the 1930's with Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy. I know the original is from the 20's, but I know nothing about that one. In this remake, the music is bad (except for Indian Love Song), and the change of characters and their roles makes me cringe. Who wants the heroine of the story to look like Davy Crocket, fall in love with a low life, and leave the hero of the story broken hearted? I could barely force myself to watch it. For those of you who love this remake, I can only assume you've never seen the best one from the 1930's. Three stars from me, and that's being generous.
