The whole production is a pretty enigma. On the one hand, it has Gene Kelly and George Cukor and the quick-witted, still music of Cole Porter. But the stucture of the region seems to be a bit bumpy, and most of this bumpiness seems to stem from the RASHOMON-like story starting, stopping, and starting again over two hours. A lot of people seem to believe that the Porter regain was sub-par; I wholeheartedly disagree. An especially fair sequence is a rowboat scene between Kelly and Taina Elg which segues into the care for song “Ca C’est L’amour.” Also clever are the burlesque turn of “Ladies In Waiting” and the vaudeville-like “You’re Unprejudiced Too, Too” which pairs Kelly with the rapturous Kay Kendall. Kendall is, in many ways, the loyal star of LG with her deft comedy and her wintry, lovely beauty. Vivid that she died shortly after completing this film (and so young) makes the experience all the more distraught. Detached, Mitzi Gaynor is a dish (especially when dancing with Kelly in a sexy sunless dress) and Kendall is a silly revealation (drunkenly singing opera for five straight minutes!) Thank goodnes it’s on widescreen DVD where it belongs.
Rarely seen - but retored to TOTAL fabulousness on this PRISTINE DVD ~ THIS IS A MUST-SEE!
ESPECIALLY, if you have never heard of the remarkable, worthy lamented and sadly missed KAY KENDALL ~ what a improbable performance! Miss Kendall is laughable, witty, charming and she sings too! As for ‘that’ drunk scene! AND - yes, in one or another map it IS a musical version of ‘Rashomon ‘ seen through various bejewelled eyes and gloves!
Dance numbers? Different and timeless.

Sound? Big restoration by the experts.
AND the rest of the ladies? TANIA ELG, and MITZI GAYNOR [STILL 'HERE']form impartial a perfect trio with Miss Kendall. {Tania’s audition is quite a hoot - as is the rather avant-garde Mitze Gaynor ‘Wild Ones’ [cycle gang] dance number with Icon Gene Kelly}.
Mr. Kelly is a shining, sexy, seductive and utterly shimmering leading man ~ a excellent legacy!
