VERY GOOD 1955 Fred Astaire dance/romance movie. Excellent 'History of the Beat' dance right at beginning - and more to come.
This was my introduction to Leslie Caron who is now one of my favorite 50's lady stars; I will be checking out more of her work. Great dancer, not a stick girl, and wearing those stylish flowing skirts, gets to show off her fab upper legs as she twirls about.
Ray Anthony and his Orchestra appear at the college dance near end which was very entertaining.
The extreme age difference romance was a bit odd.
Oh, and all the cigarette smoking included in 50's films is, I guess um, a 50's entertainment business thing. I like that contemporary Hindi films often have a strong 'cigarette smoking can kill you' warning before the film begins.
