Melody Cruise is a 1933 American pre-Code musical romantic comedy film directed by Mark Sandrich, his first feature film with sound. The film received praise for Sandrich's creative direction and solidly established him as a commercial director.[2]
On a cruise liner, a bachelor millionaire is subject to the attention of women who are seeking a rich husband.
The movie made a profit of $150,000.[1]
New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall found the film to be a "conventional farce", but praised "the imaginative direction of Mark Sandrich, who is alert in seizing any opportunity for cinematic stunts" and whose work gave the production "a foreign aspect" with "some extraordinarily clever photography".[3]
