Review of Les Girls (1957) by Andrew B — 01 Mar 2009

I expected more from this film in terms of music, choreography, performances and especially script, but just couldnt get into it, even though I tried very hard. Its glorious to look at though, and well deserved the Oscar it received for costume design, but the plot gets bogged down by over-acting and rather laborious direction from Cukor -who sadly misses it with this one.

One or two decent (but not spectacular) musical numbers help a little.
