" 24/5/12 The only latter MGM musical I've enjoyed, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only one. Unlike Gigi or High Society, it actually is structured more the more traditional MGM musical. The film itself is a musical remake of Ninotchka (1939), of which I have not seen, but judging this film on it's own merits, it does feature a surprisingly very memorable performance from Cyd Charisse."
