Ninotchka goes musical!, 15 June 2003
Author:
didi-5 from United Kingdom
Teaming an on-form Fred Astaire and the lovely Cyd Charisse, supported by
Janis Paige, Peter Lorre, and others, this musical adaptation of the famous
30s Garbo vehicle, 'Ninotchka', shines out right at the end of the golden
era of screen song and dance movies.Cyd looks the part and she and Fred have some marvellous dance numbers, as
well as the repartee kept in from the original film.Janis Paige is
particularly good in the mickey-take 'Stereophonic Sound' (because, of
course, this Ninotchka version is based around, yep, putting on a show).
The other fun to be had is in seeing Peter Lorre in a musical number.
Priceless.
