Movie Reviews of Can-Can
Movie Review: A 1960's Rip-off of "Gigi" and an Embarassment to the Broadway Musical
Summary: 2 Stars
It even copies "Gigi"'s titles with Toulouse Lautrec-looking paintings. Frank Sinatra is absolutely wrong for the era--he even says "ring-a-ding-ding" in the Belle Epoch. Shirley Maclaine is scintillating and Chevalier is lost. Hollywood had to take the Broadway show which wasn't very good and put all the glitters on little puff of a musical.
The arrangements are so sixties it could be a Sinatra solo album. They interpolated Cole Porter songs that just don't make it like "Let's Do It."
Better to get John Huston's "Moulin Rouge" to get a real feel for the can-can.
Movie Review: Can Can Can't
Summary: 2 Stars
I was so excited when I received my Can Can dvd,being a big fan of Sinatra and Juliet Prowse.What a huge disappointment. I remember vaguely enjoying it in the sixties in Salisbury, Rhodesia on a big screen. Looking at Sinatra's performance today ,I am amazed that he delivered such a lackluster two-dimensional portrayal.He walked through the movie. He looked completely bored.Shirley Maclaine screeched her way like a cat on a hot tin roof.I'm amazed that people could be paid for delivering such dreary performances.Juliet Prowse danced like a star.Some memories are better left in the past.Movie Review: bad flickering and colour shift
Summary: 2 Stars
Although Fox have a nice sharp print,of Can Can,its somewhat spoiled by a bad flickering in certain parts and the color shift from the left hand side to the right hand side of the screen is bad
And this is on most parts of the film,like a public domain transfer.
Another botch up like Oklahoma,The Todd AO Version.
Great film though.
Movie Review: How to ruin a good Broadway Show
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw the Broadway show of CAN CAN, and it was wonderful. All the actors were great, especially Lilo who was imported from France. The story was completely changed to give Frank Sinatra a big part. The sub plot that had Hans Conreid and Gwen Verdon in it was omitted. That sub plot was very funny, and I remember it to this day although I saw the show in 1953. This version had way too much talking and not enough music. I like Cole Porter, but preferred to have the CAN CAN songs in CAN CAN. If you like Frank Sinatra a lot, you might enjoy this. If you like Louis Jordan and Maurice Chevalier, get GIGI. Shirley McClaine has been in many better movies such as SWEET CHARITY. If you are interested in CAN CAN, get the recording of the original broadway show. Let us hope that a new movie following the Broadway show will be made some day.Movie Review: Only for Sinatra Lovers!
Summary: 1 Stars
A total waste of time an money for this DVD. It doesn't even have the Can-Can song in it! Save your money on this one and watch your TV for an hour with it turned off.
