Summary

The Merry Widow is a 1934 comedy, musical and romance film.

Only 28 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 29 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 4 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 24 1930s films, not against the whole corpus.
