The Scottish Play was a complete surprise to me. Delightful, creative, romantic and fun, and oh so much better than most of the mediocrity called movies these days.

Why hadn't I heard of The Scottish Play before? Why isn't this movie better known? Why wasn't it up for all kinds of awards? Why, oh why aren't there more movies like this? I can only hope that the writer and director ,Keith Boynton, becomes discovered by people with money and influence who can give his creative genius the limelight it deserves. May the ghost of Will Shakespeare appear before Hollywood producers and tell them about Keith Boynton!

Such a shame that a beautiful movie like this is in such poor shape. It needs to be restored or the original film should be found. Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard are at their best. Some of the most heartfelt acting I have ever seen from the usually somewhat stoic MacMurray. The love store is so touching and really rings true. The music is wonderful! Also nice character acting from Charles Butterworth and Jean Dixon and a small spot for Anthony Quinn and Dorothy Lamour! Exotic locale shot in the Canal Zone of Panama. This luscious film deserves better. If any film gods are listening, please bring this film back to its original glory. I bet it would become a sleeper that comes back to life to a new audience!
