Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine star in this Cole Porter musical that takes place in Paris circa 1896 and focuses on the alleged immoral dance known as the Can-Can. MacLaine is the owner of a nightclub as well as a dancer in the club, and Sinatra is her boyfriend/lawyer whose morality is itself a little shaky. Louis Jourdan is an uptight judge who falls for MacLaine while she is trying to get his attention and keep him out of her supposed immoral nightclub. And Maurice Chevalier is the seasoned judge who tries to get his younger protege to lighten up. The numbers are fun and memorable.

The 2-disc DVD set contains several bonuses including a behind-the-scenes featurette that conveys how the film went from the stage to the big screen. There is also a featurette on Cole Porter and one on Abe Burrows who wrote the book.

This is a fun film filled with delightful song and dance numbers. It's something everyone can enjoy.
