Musicals were all the rage during the '50s and the '60s; this outing certainly met the demand for this type of show at the time. The art form does not quite have the following today (2022) that was huge back then. And this is a good, but not great example of the genre. I found the Belle Epoch setting to not match the 50s hairstyles and makeup glaring. The acting and musical numbers/dancing is really good, but the script just is not there. I thought Shirley looked great throughout and the fact is, you probably watch the film for her performance.....the rest is quite middle-of-the-road. Predictable. Fun.
