I've been waiting for this one to come out on DVD for quite awhile andfinally it is. Finally it's going to be released on DVD. I like both the singing and dancing in this movie. I like the song Let's Fall in Love and C'est Manifique sung by Frank Sinatra. You'll never see the likes of this again today in the movies. Maurice Chavelier and Louis Jourdan are also in this film from the movie Gigi. I think the one that stole this film was Shirley MacClaine. She proved herself as a talented actress and entertainer in this film. The one good thing is that this movie is decent to watch than the movies that are being made today and something the whole family can enjoy.Movie Review: Out On DVD At Last!

What can one say about Can Can. I saw this motion Picture three times in Todd AO when it came out. It is a rollicking good story with great music. Good performances by all of the cast. The Restoration for the DVD seems to have been done very well with only a very little evidence of the sort of colour shift that can occur with old negative or positive films. The pictures on the DVD are nice and crisp and a pleasure to watch. It is nice to See that the DVD is in the original Todd AO format of 2.2:1 as seen in the Cinema. A good addition to the DVD library of any collector of Musicals. For me it was a must buy.

Movie Review: Great Cole Porter Music, Well-Performed
Summary: 5 Stars
The song and dance numbers were very enjoyable. The male vocalists (Sinatra, Jourdan, and Chevalier) were excellent and Shirley MacLaine was surprisingly good in her numbers. The dance routines were also very good. The only reason this almost got 4 stars from me instead of 5 was that the "Extras" (2nd) Disk was disappointing -- most of it was uninteresting filler; however, the movie was a lively and immensely enjoyable example of the classic Hollywood musical and Cole Porter's songs are always a delight.Movie Review: They don't make them like this any more..
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has so many fantastic people in it, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine and Juliet Prowse. Such a wonderful and talanted cast. The movie came as a 2 DVD set with Lobby cards and insert. Its in excelent condition and will be taken good care of. Some movies you get a case with it and thats it. I believe this one came from a GoodWill store in Washington State. Would love to get more from them if this is what they are like.
