(aka 'I Love Louisa')
directed by
Vincente Minnelli
USA 1953
|
Fred Astaire's movement and Cyd Charisse's legs are the stuff of legend.
Tony Hunter, a famous singer/dancer movie star, is feeling washed up and old hat (old top hat, tie and tails to be exact). The reporters are out for Ava Gardner, not him. But his old friends Lily and Les Martin have an idea for a funny little Broadway show and he agrees to do it. But things begin to get out of hand, when bigshot "artistic" director/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova joins the production, proclaims it's a modernistic Faust and insists on hiring a prima ballerina, Gabrielle Gerard (Cyd Charisse), to star opposite Tony, and it's hate at first sight. And her jealous choreographer isn't helping to ease the tension. The show is doomed by pretentiousness. But romance, a "let's put on a show" epiphany, and a triumphant opening are waiting in the wings. After all, this is a musical comedy! |

excellence marked by vibrant color and extensive extra features. By only
negative - it seems slightly less sharp than I might have anticipated,
but I'll wager that this is the best this film has looked since its
theatrical run.
Although I am never crazy
about Liza, her commentary did shed some light and the documentary on
Vincente Minnelli is a treat to watch. For what they are offering here,
this Boxset is a deal. We recommend!
