Rose Marie is a 1936 American musical Western film directed by W. S. Van Dyke and starring Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy and Reginald Owen. It is the second of three Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film adaptations of the 1924 Broadway musical of the same name. A silent version was released in 1928 and a color film in 1954. All three versions are set in the Canadian wilderness. Portions of Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart's original score for the Broadway musical are included in both the 1936 and 1954 films.
Although the stage version's original plot was changed and most of its songs were omitted, the 1936 film was a great success and became perhaps MacDonald's and Eddy's best-known film. Their duet "Indian Love Call" was a major hit and remained a signature song throughout their careers.
"Rose Marie" is a popular song from the musical or operetta of the same name. The music was written by Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart, the lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, In the original Broadway production in 1924, the song was performed by Dennis King and Arthur Deagon, as the characters Jim Kenyon and Sergeant Malone.
The song, along with the rest of Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart's original Broadway score, was omitted from the silent 1928 film adaptation starring Joan Crawford and James Murray, but was one of the songs from the original operetta included both in the 1936 film starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, as well as the 1954 version with Ann Blyth and Howard Keel. Karl Denver and David Whitfield have also recorded the song.
