At 89 years old I remember Jeanette and Nelson like it was yesterday, never again will the world be so fortunate to see a couple like nelson and Jeanette. To this day they bring tears of joy every time I hear them sing, I hope I see them on the other side.
It's February 23, 2023, TCM just showed this fantastic movie again, thank you TCM. The blended voices of these two will live forever, thanks to the miracle of recording technology. The glory of these actors, movies, costumes will be enjoyed by many for decades to come. I'm 81, and still tear up at the magnificence of their talent.
What is the name of the movie to which you are referring? If it is still available somewhere on the internet I would love to see it. Can you help me by telling me the name of the movie from which it was taken? Thanks so much!!
This movie is Timeless. My Mother (Rest her Soul) was A lyric soprano and used to do voiceover for the actress that couldn't sing. She worked for MGM in the late 30's into the 50's. She was friends with Jeanette and many other great stars and often sang these songs to me when I was very young. Jeanette's voice was so amazing and reminds me so much of my mom's voice. Thanks for sharing this. It made me tear up. It's one of my most favorite movies of all time.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me!
My mother was a talented amateur soprano & this was one of her favorite songs too. Jeanette MacDonald is amazing & The duet is superb. Thanks for the memories.
There will never be another janette and Nelson they were a one of a kind they had a love that was so special you couldn’t get anything better than they had it was destiny
My son, who is a musician, coined it perfectly when he said "Jeanette is the violin and Nelson is the cello" in this number. He gently dances all around her singing and fills it with his rich baritone. Love these two!! Young people who never saw their movies or heard their records will have the opportunity to see and hear these two "Golden Love Birds" on TCM in their 8 films together. It will never happen again in the movies and we are blessed to have it all on film for generations to come.
I agree with you wholeheartedly! This was 1935 - in the middle of The Great Depression. The MOVIES gave Americans a dose of happiness. Shirley Temple may have single-handedly healed the hearts and souls of a depressed country. Children have a way of doing that, don't they? Especially when they sing. I was an elementary school music teacher for 17 years. I was teaching them, true. And they were teaching ME! They taught me so much about myself - they taught ME to believe in myself because they believed in me. Having taught for so many years, it has become the gift that never stops giving. One of my first students recorded a special song with his singing group to cheer me during this pandemic and sent it to me. I became a blubbering fool. I loved my students and they loved me - Mister Seemore's Music Class. I told them this is the only when you'll have permission to be loud! They loved that. I have a dream...too. Children and singing are the antidote to heal our troubled country AND world. Music is the universal language! Enjoy these video clips I uploaded during my isolation. Blessings to you!🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
If that beautiful performance isn't perfect then I don't know what beautiful music sounds like. No one will ever sing like Jeanette and Nelson. Isn't wonderful that they left these magnificent treasures behind them for us to love and appreciate to this day. I for one will always be thankful and I have been a fan for 60 years and always will be.
Anybody here coming as I have, to enjoy a beautiful escape in the midst of isolation during the corona virus? I am alone and today is one of the harder days when something beautiful, joyful and uplifting is much needed. What better than this? Their music was before my time but my parents had some of their records. And as a wee girl, I avidly watched when any of their movies were screened on TV. What utter joy. I'm away to see if I can order one or two of their movies to escape with in these tough times and wherever their souls may be, gosh I thank them.
@George Papadopoulos Haha! Me too! The scene’s pretty cool, though, and their voices are just beautiful (even though they weren’t getting schtupped by Frankenstein! Haha).
Nelson`s harmony with all of his singing partners is beautiful. He sang with his partners-not AT them. The way he lowers his voice and weaves his voice in and around their voice, is like a beautiful dance. Lorraine
Gemini730 well, the credit for the gorgeous harmonies goes to the composer and arranger; but I'll happily agree that Mr. Eddy sings them very very beautifully!
My sister and I saw all of Jeanette and Nelsons films during the war (1939 - 1945) with our mother. We loved them both so much - they brought love and beauty into our war torn world. My mother would have loved to have been able to see and hear these posts. Thank you so much for allowing this old lady to remember those happy evenings spent watching and listening to two of the best loved singers of that time. Ida
Well said Bill. I hope if there is a higher & better place, they are together as they so deserve to be, after all the obstacles they faced in their romance on earth..
I am only in my sixties, I am sure I must have been born 30 years too late as I love Nelson & Jeanette movies & singing. They were my mother's favourites.
Well, it doesn't get any better --- on of the great melodies ever penned ---- and the magnificent singing of Jeannette and Nelson. Thank heavens for recordings ---- their voices will live forever.
Used to great effect by Mel Brooks in "Young Frankenstein", and beautifully sung by Madeline Kahn, herself a trained opera singer. It's fun to hear it in its original incarnation, beautifully sung by the king and queen of the operetta.
That's why I'm here. Grew up with YF and got curious about where the original version of the song came from. Khan was hilarious. She finally found the key that unlocked her heart...ha!
I watched this when i was younger, i couldn't take my eyes off the tele, it was the most amazing sound I'd heard....some songs will never die...nice one RUclips
When I've finally had it with the mess this world has become, I turn this on or Indian love call and it takes me to a beautiful world is supreme peace and sanity. This is what entertainers were, at one time, gifted at doing.
My mother and father used to sing this and Indian Love Call a long time ago. I can’t believe I’m listening to this celestial music now. It brings on the tears.
I just think that this couple, singing this song, with its wonderful lyrics combined with their beautiful voices, and harmonies is sublime. We feel there passions that they endanger and all this combined with the chemistry and beauty of their delivery. It is a moment in film and song that should not be forgotten and should be treasured for all times.
My heart still melts and my Soul still rejoices at this what beauty what glorious wonderful voices how much I will always be so grateful for them. Thank you for posting this.
Came here for the Young Frankenstein reference; what a lovely song. I’ve only ever hear the first line or so, sung by Madeline Kahn. Thanks for posting this.
Naturally we can't have high-quality singers and high-quality audio in the same era; can you imagine these two with today's recording equipment? GAAAH.
This is my favorite duet. I fell in love with the first time I saw when I was 13. My mother introduced me the music and she introduced me to opera. my mom died during Covid and I miss her dearly. She was so poor growing up and we didn’t have a lot either but one thing she always said you can always find something good. We never went to an opera, cause we couldn’t afford it. I wish my mother had a better life than what she did breaks my heart couldn’t afford it.😢
My favourite couple of all time. Still l get teary when l hear them. Naughty Marietta was a favourite of mine and could watch it over and over. Love them.
I believe it is the aggregate that makes this performance so special and unique. Victor Herbert wrote this beautiful melody . Rida Johnson Young contributed these incredibly beautiful lyrics . The chemistry between Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald is a thing of beauty. When this all comes together we are blessed with something that will endure and give us all joy forever.
Because unfortunately, most of the past and current generations are born and raised without culture and class. Today it's mostly rap; the loud, intrusive jungle sounds with defiant, vulger words and no music whatsoever!
I always love to hear and see jeanette macdonald and Nelson Eddy in their movies, their voices are a gift from God, they were truly blessed and in love, my 8 year old granddaughter kim, sings their music and loves it, im 79 now and can't stop hearing them and my grandchildren love them too, wish we could watch their movies again free, everyone would love them, a true love story, sad ending for them. Bring back their music and their movies ❤
I love this film. It’s romantic, lyrical and funny by turn. Personally, I am reluctant to believe many of the stories that are told about Hollywood stars but I do believe that Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy were romantically involved at various times in their lives. The chemistry between them burst through the screen.
When I was 7 years old I heard this song, it touched my very heart and soul. I ran to my best friends house to tell her about this wonderful song I had just heard and how amazing it was. I was entranced. I remember telling the story that they were on the stairs and clutching my heart in the telling of the story.The song stayed with me for years. I lost it along the way but have come back to it. I remembered that feeling that that song gave me as a very young child and how exquisitely beautiful it made me feel. 'Tis love and love alone the world is seeking'. How perfectly true. If we all felt loved, so very loved no one would wish to harm another person. Only love can make you feel that sense of utter beauty, peace and serenity.
M deBhulbh they were the GREATEST SINGING PAIR I ever heard or watched- I don't know how many people are aware that they had a young son who died early in childhood- they never were able to fully recover from their loss as would anyone who has lost a child.
This, and "Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Will You Remember" were my grandparents' song. Their song. "Will You Remember," from Maytime, came out in 1927, when they were courting and as a child, I heard these songs and all the magnificent music of Sigmund Romberg and Victor Herbert played continually on the Victrola. I still cannot listen to any of it without dissolving in tears. The most beautiful love songs ever written, and no one ever did them better than Eddy and MacDonald. Fabulous.
My Dad used to say they were the best.But he also told us that that music would be round forever.Unfortuntly most young people today have not heard of them.
2019. Ida Harris wrote that they were the best loved singers of that time. My Mother and Father were fans of them as well. I am 75, and over the pass years have enjoyed there movies and music very much. Beautiful people and music never die.
I am now a 65 yr old single Dad..And Jeanette and Nelson were brought into my life around 8 or 9 years through my beloved Grandmother..Here I am almost 60 years later, having the treasure of owning their top films(Naughty Marietta,Rose Marie,Maytime(#1) and Sweethearts)..through my 4000 film collection,If I could only keep a few,ALL of the films I mentioned I'd keep plus HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY..Watching the scene in Naughty Marietta where Jeanette and Nelson sing Ah Sweet Mystery still instanlt reduce me to a blubbering mess.. with every passing year,the intensity of emotion for these films is almost beyond endurance...
I just do love both . My mum used to sing their songs then I started watching their films when I was young . Bought my mum an album which I now have myself on cd . You don’t get singing duos like this anymore . I wasn’t even born during their hey day . But they will always remind me of my mum . God rest her soul
I was raised on the Nelson Eddy movies & even named rose marie after his movie ,& when he came to town I even got meet him That was a real treat. He was the nicest person you ever want to meet
Very pretty! From what movie is the video? As an aside: The style of the camera angles, etc seems still influenced by silent films. I take it the film is a fairly early talkie. The effect is like listening to an incredible singer in a silent film.
more than beautiful. I remember my aunt playing in the piano and the family singing it, for it was one of family´s favorite and for me a evergreen one. Thanks for sharing it.
Aloha Jeanette MacDonald and Eddy Nelson !!!! Love your duet "Ah Sweet Mystery Of Life." You both compliment each other perfectly !!!!!!!!!!! Grateful fan, Robert S.J. Hu September 25, 2020.
What a pair. Unrequited love never had it so good. What beautiful singing voices....and their lives together offscreen was something else.....both caught in loveless marriages.
I don't know about Nelson's marriage. But Jeanette was married to Gene Raymond, who I've read was gay and had a romantic relationship with actor Buddy Rogers. From letters and diaries it is clear that Nelson and Jeanette had a lifelong secret romantic relationship. Neither Nelson nor Jeanette ever had children.
Keep in mind, Nelson tried to demand for Jeannette to give up her career and control her and had a horrible explosive temper. Jeannette was turned off by that.
Her voice sounded a violin playing. What a beautiful voice she had .absolutely beautiful this song shes singing those high notes.👍💖..great film Naughty Maria.with Nelson Eddy. Both voices together 💖💖💖💖says it all.Now that was singing .rest in peace to them both .they may be gone but there not forgotten amen 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍💖💖💖💖
magnifient, stupendous and finbally glorious to hear them together again is just the best life an ffer to be honest. loved it trememncously. god bless u for posiing our jeanette andnelson THANK YOU
The divine Jeanette & the wonderful Nelson, radiating love & beauty in its purest form! It doesn't get any better than this. I feel sorry for anyone who can't appreciate just how exquisite these two were. Thanks for the upload.
And you taught that magic did'nt exist ...open your ears to Nelson and Jeanette and you will believe. My mom used to cry listening to their movies in the old days as i sat on her lap . Now i know why as i cry myself listening to these angels from the past.
I found this kind of music by accident, inheriting several wine boxes of 78s in the mid '80s. My broad musical taste courtesy of Mom already, then went exponential. How much music we lose due to format change? 78-33-cassette-CD....
Put this in a capsule along with our cosmic coordinates and shoot it into space so that alien life will know we're not an entirely savage planet, and are worth befriending.
At 89 years old I remember Jeanette and Nelson like it was yesterday, never again will the world be so fortunate to see a couple like nelson and Jeanette. To this day they bring tears of joy every time I hear them sing, I hope I see them on the other side.
Are you dead?
teary now
I'm dabbing my eyes even now. Her last breath was taken in Houston, Texas

I got hooked on these two when I was 13yrs old. I'm now 55yrs old and still love their movies and their beautiful voices.❤
What is the name of the movie to which you are referring? If it is still available somewhere on the internet I would love to see it. Can you help me by telling me the name of the movie from which it was taken? Thanks so much!!
This was before my time but I fell in love with these two at age 27 (1987). As the years have passed their magic has not dimmed for me.

I am 78 and am so glad i had this music in my life,thank you
There will never be another janette and Nelson they were a one of a kind they had a love that was so special you couldn’t get anything better than they had it was destiny
I still can't watch without getting misty. Two brilliant artists deeply in love, not knowing how tragically their love story would end.
My son, who is a musician, coined it perfectly when he said "Jeanette is the violin and
Nelson is the cello" in this number. He gently dances all around her singing and fills it with his rich baritone. Love these two!! Young people who never saw their movies or heard their

My favorite love song of all time.
I've loved it since I was in my 20's. I'm in my 40's now.
This may be before my time, but I LOVE it.
My Mom is a huge fan of this movie and showed it to us kids from childhood. I still thrill to the whole thing.

I have many of Eddy's and McDonald's records and can agree with you there voices are very special
In 1942 with 7 cents in my pocket I was transported from NYC slum life, So what if is Kitch! It is Haute cuisine Kitch!
@George Papadopoulos did you stay for JMac's other wonders?
Ir's my belief that as long as we have beautiful music like this to listen to, we are never totally alone.
@George Papadopoulos Haha! Me too! The scene’s pretty cool, though, and their voices are just beautiful (even though they weren’t getting schtupped by Frankenstein! Haha).
Nelson`s harmony with all of his singing partners is beautiful. He sang with his partners-not AT them. The way he lowers his voice and weaves his voice in and around their voice, is like a beautiful dance.

Gemini730 well, the credit for the gorgeous harmonies goes to the composer and arranger; but I'll happily agree that Mr. Eddy sings them very very beautifully!
Gemini730 - You are 100% correct. Nelson Eddy harmonized like no one else. I give the credit to him not the arranger or composer.
They were really special. Not to be seen again .
Wow, you wrote this as if it was poetry. Beautifully written.
The perfect man to his lady, like Fred Astaire.
One of the great cinema moments of all time - and one of my all time favorite movies, there has never been another couple like Jeanette and Nelson
Such a beautiful song. The wonderful Jeannette Macdonald & Nelson Eddy, who were so brilliant together.
the way they sing together touches the soul
My sister and I saw all of Jeanette and Nelsons films during the war (1939 - 1945) with our mother. We loved them both so much - they brought love and beauty into our war torn world.

Me too Ida....
Ida Harries I was named after her.
I too saw all of their films in the 40''s with my brother who liked them.

Your post is lovely --- that's when music was music.
Theres no mystery here just the look on their faces even without sound its evident it's way more than just acting its love for each other its great
Well said Bill. I hope if there is a higher & better place, they are together as they so deserve to be, after all the obstacles they faced in their romance on earth..
💗
Van Halen jump
@@ChristopherScottDixon What romance?
I used to stay up as a young boy just to hear them sing. The love in their eyes. 💕
I am only in my sixties, I am sure I must have been born 30 years too late as I love Nelson & Jeanette movies & singing. They were my mother's favourites.
My mother introduced me as a child to these musicals. I loved this one especially. Use to sing this doing dishes. Reminds me of my mama❤️❤️😭
Wonderful. To bad we don`t have music like this today, and these two singers
We have it. You just heard it!
Would be perfect
There are people out there trying to preserve it, perform it, and compose more of it 💜 I promise it’s out there
You can hear to Charlotte Church & Josh Groban! They are such beautiful duet!
Shut up and worship Lizzo and Sexy Redd!
Well, it doesn't get any better --- on of the great melodies ever penned ---- and the magnificent singing of Jeannette and Nelson. Thank heavens for recordings ---- their voices will live forever.
a beautiful couple who loved each other on screen and off. they sing like angels from heaven I love them both.
Used to great effect by Mel Brooks in "Young Frankenstein", and beautifully sung by Madeline Kahn, herself a trained opera singer. It's fun to hear it in its original incarnation, beautifully sung by the king and queen of the operetta.
I just rewatched that movie tonight 😅
That's why I'm here. Grew up with YF and got curious about where the original version of the song came from. Khan was hilarious. She finally found the key that unlocked her heart...ha!
This is sublime; the two of them singing AH SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE is the stuff that lifts us to higher places. Just beautiful.
leighgate2
Couldn't agree more.
AMEN!!!
leighgate2 well said, nicetoknowthereareotherswho enjoy good music...
Yes. Man at his finest
My mum and Dad's favorites,both gone now,brings a tear to my eye, thinking of them both,it was there love songs
I love them singing this song together just beautiful.
I watched this when i was younger, i couldn't take my eyes off the tele, it was the most amazing sound I'd heard....some songs will never die...nice one RUclips
Absolutely Gorgeous. I remember watching their films on Tv when i was about 10 or so.Just loved them> Am still a great fan at 62! What lovely singing.
When I've finally had it with the mess this world has become, I turn this on or Indian love call and it takes me to a beautiful world is supreme peace and sanity. This is what entertainers were, at one time, gifted at doing.
My grandad used to sing this ...I imagine this will be like heaven ... my soul melts xxx
My mother and father used to sing this and Indian Love Call a long time ago. I can’t believe I’m listening to this celestial music now. It brings on the tears.
If only we could bring back those nostalgic and beautiful songs of the great American lite opera.
I never get tired of this couple they sing beautiful together. ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my lovely childhood...grew up watching their amazing movies.
I just think that this couple, singing this song, with its wonderful lyrics combined with their beautiful voices, and harmonies is sublime. We feel there passions that they endanger and all this combined with the chemistry and beauty of their delivery. It is a moment in film and song that should not be forgotten and should be treasured for all times.
My heart still melts and my Soul still rejoices at this what beauty what glorious wonderful voices how much I will always be so grateful for them. Thank you for posting this.
I love this movie and I love both Jennet MicDonald and Nelson Eddy's voices. I grow up watching most of the movies that they starred together in.
For my mom who loved their films. Thank you.
CANT BE BETTERED JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
🌟🌟🌟🌟TWO SUPERSTARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐🌟
Came here for the Young Frankenstein reference; what a lovely song. I’ve only ever hear the first line or so, sung by Madeline Kahn. Thanks for posting this.
Yeah just saw it, and thought I'd see if it was an actual song.
Naturally we can't have high-quality singers and high-quality audio in the same era; can you imagine these two with today's recording equipment? GAAAH.
This is my favorite duet. I fell in love with the first time I saw when I was 13. My mother introduced me the music and she introduced me to opera. my mom died during Covid and I miss her dearly.

I wish my mother had a better life than what she did breaks my heart couldn’t afford it.😢
Absolutely beautiful
Gives me goose bumps the way they sing!
My favourite couple of all time. Still l get teary when l hear them. Naughty Marietta was a favourite of mine and could watch it over and over. Love them.
The lovely period of beautifil music
I believe it is the aggregate that makes this performance so special and unique. Victor Herbert wrote this beautiful melody . Rida Johnson Young contributed these incredibly beautiful lyrics . The chemistry between Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald is a thing of beauty. When this all comes together we are blessed with something that will endure and give us all joy forever.
My mom loved musicals so at an early age I heard what beautiful voices sounded like! I have faith it will come back.
Jeanette sung this at the Wee Kirk o Heather Church Forest Lawn during Jean Harlow's funeral.
Actually it was Nelson Eddy who sang that song, Jeannette McDonald sang The Indian Love Song at the services.
I first watched this movie with my sister when I was 6 or 7. We were going through our grandparents old movies. We still love it over 30 years later.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.........I AM GLAD YOU POSTED IT!!.....................BEAUTIFUL INDEED!
I loved Nelson and Jeannette sing together have beautiful voice .I have dvd movies I watched many times
Sadly there is no one around like these two! Super !
How would we know? There are no vehicles for talent like this.
Because unfortunately, most of the past and current generations are born and raised without culture and class. Today it's mostly rap; the loud, intrusive jungle sounds with defiant, vulger words and no music whatsoever!
I always love to hear and see jeanette macdonald and Nelson Eddy in their movies, their voices are a gift from God, they were truly blessed and in love, my 8 year old granddaughter kim, sings their music and loves it, im 79 now and can't stop hearing them and my grandchildren love them too, wish we could watch their movies again free, everyone would love them, a true love story, sad ending for them. Bring back their music and their movies
❤
I love this film. It’s romantic, lyrical and funny by turn. Personally, I am reluctant to believe many of the stories that are told about Hollywood stars but I do believe that Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy were romantically involved at various times in their lives. The chemistry between them burst through the screen.
So many memories of listening to the radio with my mother - many thanks Hilary
When I was 7 years old I heard this song, it touched my very heart and soul. I ran to my best friends house to tell her about this wonderful song I had just heard and how amazing it was. I was entranced. I remember telling the story that they were on the stairs and clutching my heart in the telling of the story.The song stayed with me for years. I lost it along the way but have come back to it. I remembered that feeling that that song gave me as a very young child and how exquisitely beautiful it made me feel. 'Tis love and love alone the world is seeking'. How perfectly true. If we all felt loved, so very loved no one would wish to harm another person. Only love can make you feel that sense of utter beauty, peace and serenity.
M deBhulbh they were the GREATEST SINGING PAIR I ever heard or watched- I don't know how many people are aware that they had a young son who died early in childhood- they never were able to fully recover from their loss as would anyone who has lost a child.
Very well stated!
This, and "Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Will You Remember" were my grandparents' song. Their song. "Will You Remember," from Maytime, came out in 1927, when they were courting and as a child, I heard these songs and all the magnificent music of Sigmund Romberg and Victor Herbert played continually on the Victrola. I still cannot listen to any of it without dissolving in tears. The most beautiful love songs ever written, and no one ever did them better than Eddy and MacDonald. Fabulous.
Absolutely beautiful !! What a gifted pair of singers
My siblings and I bought this album for my dad on his birthday back in the 60's. I remember him playing it over and over again.
God bless theyre absolutely beautiful together
My Dad used to say they were the best.But he also told us that that music would be round forever.Unfortuntly most young people today have not heard of them.
So beautiful.
2019. Ida Harris wrote that they were the best loved singers of that time. My Mother and Father were fans of them
as well. I am 75, and over the pass years have enjoyed there movies and music very much. Beautiful people
and music never die.
Love love love I have most of their movies and CDs to listen to at home and in the car. Just beautiful.
I am now a 65 yr old single Dad..And Jeanette and Nelson were brought into my life around 8 or 9 years through my beloved Grandmother..Here I am almost 60 years later, having the treasure of owning their top films(Naughty Marietta,Rose Marie,Maytime(#1) and Sweethearts)..through my 4000 film collection,If I could only keep a few,ALL of the films I mentioned I'd keep plus HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY..Watching the scene in Naughty Marietta where Jeanette and Nelson sing Ah Sweet Mystery still instanlt reduce me to a blubbering mess..
with every passing year,the intensity of emotion for these films is almost beyond endurance...
Absolutely exquisite - delightful in every way. A sunbeam of genius and art from a more innocent age. Thank you for posting!
I just do love both . My mum used to sing their songs then I started watching their films when I was young . Bought my mum an album which I now have myself on cd . You don’t get singing duos like this anymore . I wasn’t even born during their hey day . But they will always remind me of my mum . God rest her soul

That was a real treat. He was the nicest person you ever want to meet
Our mom loved them they are amazing just amazing our mom had such a love for nelson Eddie a huge crush jeanette is just breathtaking
The classic of all classics. The look of love on his face....
Cissy funk bought me here.
This song never ceases to bring tears to my eyes when I listen - Thank you Victor Herbert and Jeannette and Nelson.......
I agree it is lovely. But never let yourself watch "Young Frankenstein"!
Very pretty! From what movie is the video?
As an aside: The style of the camera angles, etc seems still influenced by silent films. I take it the film is a fairly early talkie. The effect is like listening to an incredible singer in a silent film.
Alec Bass movie was Naughty Marietta 1938
mike vnv "Naughty Marietta" was released in 1935.

THEY WERE MENT TO SING TO TOGETHER-- JUST BEAUTIFUL. I STILL WATCH THEIR MOVIES.
Love all their movies. The music is so beautiful and their singing out of this world.
Outstanding and I have played this movie so many times just to hear perfect duets and each one perfect/
I saw this again on TCM recently. Always one of my favorites.
more than beautiful. I remember my aunt playing in the piano and the family singing it, for it was one of family´s favorite and for me a evergreen one. Thanks for sharing it.
This is my favorite scene of all the ones Jeanette and Nelson played together.
What a wonderful duet this is.I never tir of hearing it.Thank you.
Aloha Jeanette MacDonald and Eddy Nelson !!!! Love your duet "Ah Sweet Mystery Of Life." You both compliment each other perfectly !!!!!!!!!!! Grateful fan, Robert S.J. Hu September 25, 2020.
I continue to enjoy your loving serenade !!!! Am now 80 years old. May 13, 2022.
crystal clear voice hmm absolutely stunning
What a pair. Unrequited love never had it so good. What beautiful singing voices....and their lives together offscreen was something else.....both caught in loveless marriages.
alice brown Maybe they truly loved each other and that's why they put SO MUCH into that song !
ydnar0591 They did love each other in real life...
+alice b:-- not so sure about the 'loveless' tag. Anyone know about siblings from either of these marriages??
I don't know about Nelson's marriage. But Jeanette was married to Gene Raymond, who I've read was gay and had a romantic relationship with actor Buddy Rogers. From letters and diaries it is clear that Nelson and Jeanette had a lifelong secret romantic relationship. Neither Nelson nor Jeanette ever had children.
Keep in mind, Nelson tried to demand for Jeannette to give up her career and control her and had a horrible explosive temper. Jeannette was turned off by that.
Another incredible song by the two of them.♥️
One of the most beautiful songs ever written by Herbert.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written full stop.
Victor Herbert converted to Catholicism and this was written about the Catholic Belief in the Eucharist. The Eucharist was the "Mystery Of Life"
Thank you for posting this beautiful romantic song ❤️❤️ I love these two and their movies together 😊
They were so wonderful ,just melts my heart to hear them I have all their movies and play them often ,thanks for posting

My mother has just introduced me to this, and I’ve got a Doctorate of Musical Arts. This is delightful, and I look forward to learning more.
Beautiful voices!
interesting at the number of recent comments since this movie was made in 1935. Shows that good music and singing endures
Thank God.
Richard McMahon Old movie channels help a lot too.
Michael Whisman lol
I agree!! Naughty Marietta's still fresh and great 83 years later being enjoyed by fans such as a sixteen year-old me!!!

Both voices together 💖💖💖💖says it all.Now that was singing .rest in peace to them both .they may be gone but there not forgotten amen 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍💖💖💖💖
That's not Jeanette MacDonald doing a bad lip sync, it's a bad video sync. And certainly it is her great voice!
Oh thank God! I feel so much better now. Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Mac Donald always make me tear up.
très belle voix. Aucun film ne passse a la télé de cette magnifique artiste ainsi que de nelson EDY
What gorgeous voices from the 1930s.
magnifient, stupendous and finbally glorious to hear them together again is just the best life an ffer to be honest. loved it trememncously. god bless u for posiing our jeanette andnelson THANK YOU
I can't be the only one who thinks this, but Nelson Eddy and Mario Lanza, if given the opportunity, would have made an AMAZING duet.
I agree with you.
BrokenWolf1990 loved both of them. I used to listen my Mom's 78's of them.
OMGGGGGGGGGGG, Nelson and Mario on the same stage..."Oh, . . . . . "!
+Broken W:--Indeed! NE and Tenn. Ernie Ford did a duet and it was first rate!! On YT for everybody!!
Definitely agree!
The divine Jeanette & the wonderful Nelson, radiating love & beauty in its purest form! It doesn't get any better than this. I feel sorry for anyone who can't appreciate just how exquisite these two were. Thanks for the upload.
Jeanette looks absolutely beautiful singing to someone she really loves in real life nelson is totally captured by her how beautiful no better
And you taught that magic did'nt exist ...open your ears
to Nelson and Jeanette and you will believe.
My mom used to cry listening to their movies in the
old days as i sat on her lap . Now i know why as i
cry myself listening to these angels from the past.
I found this kind of music by accident, inheriting several wine boxes of 78s in the mid '80s. My broad musical taste courtesy of Mom already, then went exponential. How much music we lose due to format change? 78-33-cassette-CD....
Put this in a capsule along with our cosmic coordinates and shoot it into space so that alien life will know we're not an entirely savage planet, and are worth befriending.
