Movie Reviews of My Geisha
Movie Review: An Under rated delight
Summary: 4 Stars
Watching this glorious DVD version of this film makes one realise what a little gem this film was and how sad that is has been over looked and never seen as one of the principal films in Shirely Maclaine's acting canon until now. Certainly some of the sexist elements of the storyline are dated by today's standards (a woman should never be more important professionally than her husband )but the storyline is fresh and original and Maclaine should definitely been nominated for an oscar for her extraordinary doiuble sided performance.
Like Julie Andrews in "Victor Victoria", you need to suspend disbelief a little, even with the Geisha makeup, one cant imagine how husband Yves Montand doesnt recognise her, but the performances and the charm of the idea and the lush cinematography an d the theatrics of the piece make up a delightful package. Interesting to note that the film was inspired somewhat by Maclaine's relationship with film producer Steve Parker who also produced the film and to whom she was married at the time of the making of it.
