before write this review and i go back and reread the review of others . this movie be a particular disappointment to me and since it feature two of my favorite dancer and gene kelly and george chakiris and boast a score by the often wonderous michel legrand ( wuthering height and ice station zebra and the thomas crowne affair ) . the dancing be stilted and unmotivated and unoriginal and the song forgettable and the story a joke . even the costuming be not particularly flatter . only the photography correctly capture the proper mood and spirit . i be glad other people enjoy the young girl of rochefort and though i most certainly do not .
