Subject: RE: They don't write love songs like this

I will answer true-oo-oo-oo-oo: Kat, that's "Indian Love Call" by Rudolf Friml, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II, made famous in the 1936 hit movie Rose Marie by Nelson Eddy as the Mountie and Jeannette MacDonald as the prima donna.
"Singing 'Indian Love Call,' Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are in a class of their own; the wholesome, hearty fakery of it is matchless. This is one of the liveliest and most popular of their kitschfests."
- Pauline Kael, 5001 Nights At The Movies
