April in Paris (1952)
Hasn't Aged Well
7 April 2012 - 6 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Doris Day is adorable perky-chaste with a lousy script and songs with goofy lyrics in a fake studio Paris.
Ray Bolger, fine dancer, is grotesquely miscast as a diplomat.
The gags are unusually lame, even for this kind of comedy. I kept imagining any number of other male leads like Astaire or Kelly or O'Connor.
This movie has not aged well in 60 years. Very disappointing, especially when compared with some of Day's finest work such as "Love Me or Leave Me" made only three years later.
And contrast "April in Paris" with "Singin' in the Rain" from the SAME YEAR. Sigh.
