      StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 54 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Mark A A cute bit of fluff. Kay Kendall is wonderful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review ashley h Les Girls is an okay film. It is about the former members of a dance troupe who are suing because of recently published memoirs. Gene Kelly and Mitzi Gaynor give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. George Cukor did an alright job directing this movie. I liked the motion picture because of the humor and music. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Mediocre in every way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There is such a wealth of unutilized talent on screen, an alluring conceit spoilt by a failure to commit to its own premises, and a number of musical numbers beautifully staged but for one ugly, ugly scene. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Variety Staff Variety Les Girls is an exceptionally tasty musical morsel that is in the best tradition of the Metro studio. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out A delight to match that other Cukor musical, A Star Is Born. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Film Culture Staff Film Culture Undistinguished Cole Porter score and lack of one brilliant, show-stopping dance number handicaps film, and keeps it well below standard of Singing in the Rain and The Bandwagon. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy While Gene Kelly's hoofing remains delightful, he delivers only a half-hearted performance in a rather sketchy role. It's Kay Kendall who steals the show with a highly amusing turn. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The results are full of charm and sparkle, and Cole Porter's songs are worthy of his name. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A stylized, unconventional musical for MGM, director Cukor, and Gene Kelly. Rated: B Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
