Life affirming dance routines, the wonderful music of Michel Legrand and effervescent presence of Catherine Deneuve, her real life sister Françoise Dorléac, George Chakiris and Gene Kelly; what more could you want?

I like it better than the decidedly more grim The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

This is a film about music and color, an impressive follow-up to the similar The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Pauline Kael noted the effort “demonstrates how even a gifted Frenchman who adores American musicals misunderstands their conventions.”

Deneuve is in a class and breed of her own, even outside of her own sister.

Deneuve and Dorléac are stylish, smart, and spirited, and their awkwardness as dancers makes them even more winning.

The colors appear faded after thirty-one years but the voices and music come across just fine.
