Jeanette MacDonald, John Garrick, Joe E. Brown and Zasu Pitts.

"An enchanted operetta set in the remote Norwegian Alps, THE LOTTERY BRIDE evokes the storybook romances of Ernst Lubitsch and Rouben Mamoulian. It weaves the take of a young tavern hostess (Jeanette MacDonald) who finds herself torn between a young student (John Garrick), a dashing Italian aviator (Joseph Maccaulay) and a rugged miner (Robert Chisholm). Through these complicated romantic maneuverings are woven a series of lively songs by Rudolf Frimi and J. Kiern Brennan, including the rhapsodic 'My Northern Lights'. Spectacular visual effects devised by William Cameron (including a zepplin crash in the arctic wasteland) and splashes of comedy by Joe Brown and Zazu Pitts help make The Lottery Bride a deliriously far-fetched melodrama that could only have emerged from the fearless early years of the Hollywood musical. This Kino edition was newly mastered in High Definition from a 35mm negative from the estate of producer Joseph M. Schenck."--Contianer.
