Read MoreCollapse
Shirley MacLaine stars in Walter Lang's Oscar-nominated musical as Simone Pistache, the owner of a Parisian café where the can-can, which has been declared illegal, is still danced. Frank Sinatra plays François Durnais, her playboy lover/ lawyer who keeps her out of trouble, while Maurice Chevalier plays Paul Barriere, a judge who turns a blind eye to Simone's antics in return for a little cash and a view of some naked flesh. Songs include 'Let's Do It' and 'Just One of Those Things' while MacLaine shows her hoofing talents in a passionate Apache dance.
