Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was the highest-grossing film of 1937 and saved MGM from financial trouble. The studio basically owed its survival to Jeanette MacDonald crying in a garden.

Cultural

The film's flashback structure influenced decades of nostalgic romantic dramas — everything from Titanic to The Notebook owes this melodrama a drink.
