Title: FOR JACK COLE'S WORK...ONLY !
Product review: There is only one good reason to watch "Les Girls" and that is to see what Jack Cole's choreography looked like. Cole was respected, loved and feared by scores of Broadway and Hollywood dancers but no one seems to write or speak about him today. Well, here's your chance to see some of his most iconic choreography...especially noteworth is the title number. What DIDN'T I like about the film?The dull plot (did someone at M.G.M. really believe a musical of the "Rashoman" tale was a good idea?); the totally unbelievable dialogue; the fact that Gene Kelly looks too old for any of his gorgeous, sexy leading ladies; the director, brilliant George Cukor, is simply not at home helming a musical and lastly, the fact that the leading man, as written, is a boor....even Gene Kelly, certainly one of the most charming performers in movies, cannot make him palatable.
