Year of Release: 1958Country of Origin: USA
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Cast: Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan
Plot outline: Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training enjoy a platonic friendship, but it may not stay platonic for long (IMDb).
Despite winning 9 Academy Awards with such an extravagant production; eye-catching set decorations, beautiful cinematography, elaborate and colourful costumes and ultimately the utmost charm of Maurice Chevalier, by today's standards this movie looks corny and cheesy. But, two songs enchantingly sung by him "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and "I Remember It Well" are utterly lovable and memorable.
My judgement: **1/2 out of 4 stars
