Review of Silk Stockings (1957) by Christopher B — 17 Jan 2018
Half as funny as the original, but it seems they had to sacrifice something to make some of the musical numbers work. Astaire is certainly aging - you can tell be how much of the dance bits he spends stretching out on the floor.
Charisse is fantastic when she finally dances. A shame that Lorre's funnies bit is his dance, as he could be hilarious in other films. The best lines from the original are preserved, but seem to have been lost in the timing.
Still, there are a few moments in the dance scenes that are worth watching.
