The film would have been more provocative had they shown more scenes regarding this forbidden dance raging in Paris circa 1900.
The film was certainly not one of Shirley MacLaine's better performances. She does show a simpleness marked in her Oscar nominated performance in "Some Came Running."
As always, Maurice Chevalier stars in an advisory capacity, as a magistrate, who still likes the swinging life along with attorney Frank Sinatra. Louis Jourdan is wonderful as the stiff magistrate who finds love with MacLaine.
The film may also have suffered because it may very well have been compared to the Oscar winner-"Gigi."
