Can-Can
Directed by Walter Lang • 1960 • United States
Starring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier
An all-star cast headed by Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, and Maurice Chevalier lights up this splashy screen adaptation of the musical by Cole Porter—the film famously denounced by Nikita Khrushchev on his visit to Hollywood. In 1890s Paris, a vivacious Montmartre nightclub owner (MacLaine) tangles with an oh-so-scandalized judge (Louis Jourdan) for the right to perform the can-can—the ooh-la-la dance sensation delighting the public. Sinatra croons the classic Porter tunes “It’s All Right With Me” and “C’est Magnifique.”
