Charming musical - Les Demoiselles de Rochefort review by EB
Maybe rather more sentimental than Les Parapluies de Cherbourg but an attractive watch with some lovely dancing - one of the leading men was in West Side Story.

a cheerful break from sixties French cinema - Les Demoiselles de Rochefort review by mc
Following Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, the pastel shades combine with a singing dancing street scene, which spills over into a cheerful tale of love lost and found. An enjoyable escape movie of the sixties.
