like classic hollywood musical and the plot be just an excuse . a must see for those interested in french music hall ( include a song by édith piaf ) and for the wonderful 10 plus minute cancan finale . the dancing in the film be not at all like what usually pass for cancan . some might object to the technicolor costume and the bright lighting and but it give you a clear view of some grand costume and set . consider it jean renoir love letter to the paris he grow up in . certainly the jean renoir film for people who do not like his serious film or who only like his hollywood production .
