Beginning in 1935, he joined Jeanette MacDonald in a singing duo, commonly called "the Singing Sweethearts", which scored one smash hit film musical after another through 1942, including Naughty Marietta, Rose Marie and Let Freedom Ring. Eddy's version of The Phantom of the Opera (1943) co-starred Susanna Foster and Claude Rains. Knickerbocker Holiday, based on the stage musical, is set in 1650 New Amsterdam. Two items.
