Well, it's been said that any film with Fred Astaire in it is better than about any other one without him, is driven home by his performance with Cyd Charisse in this great musical. The MGM musicals were a showcase for both Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse which were unequaled by other projects which they did before and later. Reputedly this was Cyd's favorite film from her movie career and while it's probably not Fred's best dancing film, the ensemble effect is a most pleasing musical film experience and showcases the great resources of MGM at the height of the studio's powers. It's an extremely amusing story from the Cold War days when Russian envoys were stereotyped, as Cyd is in the musical, as hard-line dogma-driven characters. Played against the carefree character of Fred as an American movie producer working in Paris, the setting for some fun and character conflicts, resolved through romance, is staged. Everything is resolved through beautiful music and dance in one of the most memorable and enjoyable musicals ever to come out of that Hollywood dream factory, MGM. It's great!Vollständige Rezension lesen
One of the last big budget Fred Astaire musicals, it is a takeoff on the classic film "Ninotchka." It spoofs Communist Russian philosophy and its downfall as a result of exposure to love and Paris. Cyd Charisse plays the hardline party member who succumbs to the charms of movie producer Fred Astaire. The beautiful music and witty lyrics of Cole Porter, and the gorgeous dancing of the two leads make this a worthwhile movie experience. Enjoy!!!!
Classic musical with great characters, great cast and a nice story. Bought this to watch with my relatives and grandmother and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

I bought this DVD for my husband as a gift and this movie is a delight to watch. The quality of the DVD is exceptional and I recommend it this is another example of how good Hollywood Musicals are! Fred Astaire and a stunning performance of Cyd Charisse. This film is a MUST for all fans of Fred Astaire and Hollywood Musicals.
ANOTHER DESSERT FROM M.G.M. NOW IT'S CYD AND FRED. A WINNING COMBINATION. YES, THE MUSIC IS JUST FINE AND EVEYONE KNOWS HOW TO PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD. ENOUGH SO THAT THIS FILM CAN BE WATCHED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
Just what I was looking for.
