A frilly musical. The musical genre remains somewhat awkward, but after 30 years of silent cinema, it's maybe not that strange that directors saw a lot of potential in films featuring song and dance. Love Me Tonight isn't the worst of its kind, as long as you're willing to accept the rather cheesy execution.
The opening scene is pretty fun, but the songs are cheesy, the accents are terrible and the plot is light as a feather. There's little here for people who aren't taken by songs and basic comedy, but at least the light mood makes it an easy film to stomach. Not a bad musical and actually better than most talkies of its era, but it's not really my genre.
