Story Synopsis:
A musical comedy about a lawyer who protects a cafe owner after she’s accused of presenting the illegal Can-Can dance. Song and dance keep the film going as the storyline leaves something to be desired. Famous for driving Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev “nuts.”
LaserDisc Picture:
Billed as “The Greatest Show In Todd-AO”, the 70mm frame is presented at 2.32:1 from an apparent print source element. The overall image rendering is soft and natural looking. but texture definition is wanting. Color fidelity is excellent with natural fleshtones and a rich Technicolor® look. The picture is stunning, exhibiting virtually no noise or artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The original soundtrack was six-track magnetic stereo with full road show overture, intermission, and exist music. That’s missing but the music score is well presented stereophonically with excellent spatial and depth qualities. Otherwise the sound is mono.
