The 1966 fluff comedy MADE IN PARIS, starring Ann-Margaret is a pretty basic story about a "good girl" who has worked her way up the ladder in the fashion industry. She is aggressively pursued by several men, but is steadfast in protecting her virginity. Fate brings her to Paris on a buying spree for her store, the backdrop for the story. This movie shows the excitement of the industry quite accurately. (so sad it's completely gone-thanks GAP)
While in (Hollywood set) Paris, Margaret is smitten with a handsome, exciting clothing designer played by Jordan and tries attracting him by making a spectacle of herself in nightclubs. Wow, those scenes give Ann-Margaret a chance to show what a fantastic entertainer she is, singing & especially dancing. In one charming number in particular, she sings with the great Reta Shaw!
Eventually, the smart gal wises up that it's best to be true to herself and is saved by her NY store boss (& gorgeous) Chad Everett, who seems to be imitating Clark Gable every time he opens his mouth. Cute wrap up, obvious/thin story but the sets & clothing are incredible visual support, making this very fun viewing for anyone interested in 60's fashion at it's best.
