when the film delovely recently rekindle my love for cole porter music and i encounter this dvd on sale and think it would make a great addition to my collection . it do not . for the most part and what a clunker . i realize that as great a the music be and anything go be a bit dated a a musical and but this story and which have nothing to do with the original and be just dreadful . in addition to the uninspired plot and the song that be add by sammy cahn and james van heusen be remarkably banal . even more so and when one compare them to the porter original leave in . it sad that anybody watch might actually think they be porter own . additionally and because of the prudishness of hollywood and porter original get censor too . an example of the lunacy be when and in a lyric and 4 letter word become 3 letter word . how trite can hollywood be . 2 porter song in the beginning that get transform into 50 style jazz dance number for the female lead lose all their charm from the butchery . the song anything go have never be give a bad rendition . bing crosby and in his last paramount picture and sleepwalks through it . jeanmaire be not much good ( especially her act ) . it be no surprise that her career gravitate back to france after this . mitzi gaynor be her usual perky self and but the film get save somewhat by donald oconnor presence and energy . the one porter song that seem to have keep it charm be a nice gaynor or oconnor duet on de lovely . while porter purist will retch over this film ( which be probably what his reaction be after see it and especially the added song ) and it do offer up a period glimpse of hollywood choreography from the mid 50 and along with the previously mention duet . otherwise and it the bottom and not the top .
