1958 was a horrendous year for films; one of the weakest years of all time (until the 21st century, at least). Two other films, only slightly above average; Separate Tables and The Big Country were better than this dated soap of a film. The music and dancing were very nice, but the storyline of a hooker bagging a spoiled rich boy simply does not appeal to the vast majority of people who live in the 21st century.
Leslie Caron gets the most out of what she is given for a script as does Louis Jourdan, (who was not as talented as Caron). If you have a case of nostalgia for a world that does not exist any more, feel free to indulge yourself.
