Our second musical this miniseries is a raunchy adaptation of a raunchy operetta, it’s Ernst Lubitsch’s The Merry Widow. This one stands as a great example of a pre-Code film released post-Code, but even with the pre-Code changes restored it’s unfortunately not a very good film! Topics discussed include the lackluster soundtrack, a reoccurring poor son of a bitch, and our personal theories about how good Danilo must be in the sack. And what happened to the black dog?
