Mark A A cute bit of fluff. Kay Kendall is wonderful. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Mediocre in every way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Oscar winning, a rousing tribute to girls absorbed with men and vice versa, a mix of stage and screen performance with high quality cinematography. If you care at all about fifties musicals, this one isn't too bad. Gene Kelly is at his dancing best. The trio of girls he manages on stage are fast talking room mates. Les Girls, also known as Cole Porter's Les Girls, is a 1957 musical comedy film made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Horning, Gene Allen, Edwin B. Willis, Richard Pefferle) and Best Sound (Wesley C. Miller) STORY: "After writing a tell-all book about her days in the dance troupe "Barry Nichols and Les Girls", Sybil Wren (Kay Kendall) is sued for libeling her fellow dancer Angele (Taina Elg). A Rashomon (1950)-style narrative presents the story from three points of view. Sybil accuses Angele of having an affair with Barry (Gene Kelly), while Angele insists that it was actually Sybil who was having the affair. Finally, Barry gives his side of the story."

It wasn't until the documentary That's Entertainment! that he would appear in another MGM musical. REVIEWS: 100% Stylish, chic, clever. 70% The thing I don't get about this movie is that these cannot be three tellings of the same story. 80% This movie was not bad at all. For WWII Boomers it is really enjoyable and there is actually a story!
