From director Robert Z. Leonard. Marion Davies stars as Marianne, whose beloved Andre (George Baxter) has shipped out to the front. Sometime later, a company of American G. I.s are stationed in town, and one of them, Stagg (Lawrence Gray) falls hard for Marianne. Stagg, along with his buddies Soapy (Cliff Edwards) and Sam (Benny Rubin), make life miserable for the poor French girl with their incessant jokes and songs, although she eventually warms to them all. Also featuring Scott Kolk, Robert Edeson, and Emile Chautard.
This was Davies first sound film, and I found her charming, funny and with a good voice, even with her thick and phony French accent. The scenes where she dresses as a French soldier are a highlight. My favorite song was one by comic relief Rubin, a cantor-esque number called "The Girl from Noochateau". The movie is overall is harmless fluff, a bit overlong at 111 minutes, but a promising sign in the development of the musical in the new sound medium.
This was meant as a musical take on 1925's "The Big Parade".
