How to adapt a Broadway musical for the movies? Well, if you've got Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine signed up, you throw out most of the original and make up something new--which is how Cole Porter's Can-Can came to the screen. It had been a smash on Broadway, and on film Can-Can locked up the #2 box-office spot for 1960 (nestled between Ben-Hur and Psycho). From a modern standpoint, the movie's popularity can be attributed to the stars, the colorful widescreen production, the sexy subject matter, and of course the Porter songs. It can't really be explained any other way, because Can-Can isn't among the most engaging movie musicals; it has the stolid, proscenium-framed look of Fox's 1950s widescreen musicals, and the story is only mildly diverting. The saturated color makes 19th-century Montmarte come to life, and the can-can numbers (and the wonderfully daft Garden of Eden ballet) look appropriately splashy. For a bit of authentic Gallic je ne sais quoi, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan are imported from Gigi, a big hit two years earlier. MacLaine and Sinatra have their cozy chemistry ("Let's Do It" fares especially well with them), and the movie marks the film debut of the dimply dancer Juliet Prowse.

The DVD provides a gorgeous color presentation of the movie. A second disc has some OK featurettes, including a making-of documentary that includes the famous story of Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the set of Can-Can, at which he witnessed an ooh-la-la can-can number, after which he denounced the proceedings as an example of Western depravity. --Robert Horton

bad flickering and colour shift
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 <

Sinatra And MacClaine Seasoned by Chevalier - French Cooking At It's Most Manifique!!!
An apt release in the year when Putin has subtlely began the Russian Sabre Rattling of old again. The movie lacks a plausible plot but the memories it evokes for the post-war baby boomers is anything but plotless. Like a Latrec painting it gaudily delights in it's own excesses and joys, both visual and visceral that it projects upon its audience Ah, the news stories from the set. Sinatra's temper tantrums. Shirley's peacemaking. Chevalier's Gaelic charm smoothing everthing over, and that was behind the scenes!!! Culminating in the famous visit by Nikita Krushchev, the then reigning Russian leader who uses the occasion to point out the moral decline in western civilization. This movie was the flagship that sailed America into the perilous waters of the swinging sixties. And as if we haven't seen enough reminders lately that celebrity has gone full circle with the woes of Paris Hilton. One of her relatives by marriage is Zsa Zsa Gabor, also mostly famous for being famous, and she has one of her few legitimate roles in this film! Cole Porter's tunes. The color. The Dancing. It all shines in your eye like a penny on the pavement. Bend over, pick it up. You might get lucky!
