A romance between a struggling composer and an American singer. (imdb)

In an African colony, romantic entanglements run rampant, complete with musical numbers to illustrate their zest.

This sentimental Romberg-Hammerstein operetta was made late in the first cycle of movie musicals, and the glut of product at the time crowded it out at the box office. Which is too bad, because it's excellent of its kind -- well-crafted, well-cast, and in handsome two-tone Technicolor. (imdb)

Set in 1830, when the Italian provinces of the Austrian Empire are in revolt. Colonel Vultow is an Austrian cavalry officer and has been assigned to bring Lombardy and its rebellious nobles under control. He leads his cavalry forces to the castle of revolutionary leader Count Adrian Beltrami, with the intention of arresting him. By coincidence, Vultow arrives there during Adrian's wedding day.

As a wagon train treks west, two men, Lt. Singleton and a Stanton, a scout, are rivals for the attentions of the Colonels' daughter, Virginia. Stanton is held for murder after a fight with a bad guy named Davolo. He escapes jail and joins the train disguised as a minister. Virginia runs off with him and they start a saloon in San Francisco
