Jeanette MacDonald had been off the screen for five years until her return in Three Daring Daughters (1948), but The Sun Comes Up was to be her last. In it, she had to share the screen not with an up-and-coming younger actress but with a very popular animal star. Although her retreat from a film career can be blamed largely on an increasingly debilitating heart ailment, MacDonald continued to make concert and TV appearances after this. Her last radio performance was a broadcast version of this same story on The Screen Guild Theater in March 1950. ## Credits - **Director:** [Richard Thorpe](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-thorpe) - **Screenplay:** [William Ludwig](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-ludwig) - **Original Music Composer:** [André Previn](https://cinepixo.com/people/andre-previn) - **Director of Photography:** [Ray June](https://cinepixo.com/people/ray-june) ## Cast - [Lewis Stone](https://cinepixo.com/people/lewis-stone) - [Nicholas Joy](https://cinepixo.com/people/nicholas-joy) - [Lloyd Nolan](https://cinepixo.com/people/lloyd-nolan) - [Lassie](https://cinepixo.com/people/lassie) - [Jeanette MacDonald](https://cinepixo.com/people/jeanette-macdonald) - [Claude Jarman, Jr.](https://cinepixo.com/people/claude-jarman-jr) - [Margaret Hamilton](https://cinepixo.com/people/margaret-hamilton) - [Percy Kilbride](https://cinepixo.com/people/percy-kilbride) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
