Frank Sinatra and Shirley Maclaine star in this extravagant reproduction of the Cole Porter stage musical about 1890s Paris. Loosely adapted from the original, the film follows the efforts of French lawyer François Durnais (Sinatra) to prevent the police from closing down the club owned by his girlfriend, Simone Pistache (Maclaine), because the venue features the prohibited cancan dance. Although Durnais has the support of Judge Paul Barriere (Chevalier), policeman Phillippe Forrestier (Jourdan) is determined to raid the place. On a reconnaissance mission, the resolute cop falls head over heels for Pistache, who isn't interested but sees in Forrestier an opportunity to force Durnais' hand into marriage. Among these Machiavellian machinations stands a bevy of fine Cole Porter songs and some excellent dance routines, including a performance of the cancan in front of a French judicial inquiry.

Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine fit together perfectly and they are the ones who carry this film. It's a musical, and unfortunately, there's one problem: the songs here don't work very well. Almost half of them seemed unfinished and not very nice, but on the other hand, it works in terms of dance. In the end, it's moralizing, (but in a good way) fooling around.
