Audience Member Vehicle for Pat Boone who talk, sing like Bing Crosby. (Movie co-star Bing son Gary. Also Derwin #2. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member There's not much of a story but the stars are fresh and appealing. Pat Boone is in fine voice, while Christine Carere is a joy to behold. This is a pleasant recollection of a time when people still valued innocence and sweetness. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review ashley h Mardi Gras is a cute film. It is about cadets at the Virginia Military Institute who organized a raffle to win a date with Michelle Marton, a French actress. Pat Boone and Christine Carère give excellent performances. The screenplay is decent and the music's great. Edmund Goulding did a great job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture but not one of my favorites. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
