St. Valentine’s Day may be past, but all of February is recognized as the month of love. If you’re done with flowers and candy, pull out a romantic classic film.

One of my favorite Golden Era romances is “Maytime” from 1937. This musical drama stars Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, classical singers who made eight films together. After this film, they were known as the Singing Sweethearts of the Silver Screen; it’s all about sweethearts.
