I like to have a sense of musicals, at least back to a certain era, and this musical seems to come up. When I learned that it was by the same people who wrote and composed for My Fair Lady, I was still more interested.
I'm afraid I found Maurice Chevalier's performance unbearable, and had trouble warming up to Leslie Caron. A lot of the movie is spectacle, and if one is having trouble warming up to the female lead, the center of the spectacle of design, fashion, and mise-en-scene . . . . I didn't quite make it to the end.
