 | | In 1789, the Duke de Vidier, a young French aristocrat, renounces his claim of nobility to further the cause of the revolution by freeing the bond servants in New Orleans. |
 | | Anyway, this narrows the field down to 2: Jeanette MacDonald (New Moon) and Kathryn Grayson (Showboat.) My vote is for Jeanette MacDonald who is ravishingly coquettish, and THE perfect ingenue. |
 | | In the early scene where the rebel duke in disguise is flirting with the pleased but guarded aristocrat, Marianne, he kisses her hand which delights her, surprises her and tips her a little off-balance. |
