Movie Review: Overall excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
A love story, fantastic setting, a big star comedy that tugs at all
the emotions that make up a marriage, career and dreams/goals - life.
A real "feel-good" movie done with a flare.

Summary: 4 Stars
MY GEISHA, starring Shirley MacLaine and produced by her then-husband Steve Parker, is a very cute comedy lushly-filmed on location in Japan.
When celebrated movie director Paul Robaix (Yves Montand) decides to do a new version of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" on location in Japan, his actress wife Lucy Dell (Shirley MacLaine) secretly follows him, dresses in traditional geisha costume and lands the title role! An hilarious comedy of switched identity ensues.
Shirley MacLaine positively glows as Lucy, and looks very beautiful in her geisha disguises (Edith Head deservedly received an Oscar nomination for her colour costume designs). Yves Montand, always a little bit stiff when paired with his American leading ladies, tries his best to conjure up a rapport with MacLaine, but this is very much Shirley's show. Edward G. Robinson and Bob Cummings have fun supporting roles.
Filmed entirely on location in Japan, MY GEISHA was the climax of a fascination with the country for MacLaine and her husband Steve Parker, who lived there for a period. The visuals capture Japan at the height of it's beauty.
The new DVD edition of MY GEISHA is very pleasing. There is some minor image-flicker in certain scenes, but the colours are bold and strong; audio is offered in both 5.1 surround and 2-channel mono.
