The Chocolate Soldier
The Chocolate Soldier ★ 1941
Dull musical in which an opera star tests his wife's fidelity. Lovers of the musical genre will find that this one has too much talking, not enough singing. Lovers of fine films will realize that more singing would hardly improve things. Based loosely on Molnar's play “The Guardsman.” 102m/B VHS . Nelson Eddy, Rise Stevens, Nigel Bruce, Florence Bates, Dorothy Gilmore, Nydia Westman; D: Roy Del Ruth; C: Karl Freund.
