Warner Archive will release on Blu-ray director George Cukor's film
Les Girls (1957), starring Gene Kelly, Mitzi Gaynor, Kay Kendall, Taina Elg, and Jacques Bergerac. The release will be available for purchase this Spring.
Synopsis: "Bravo" say critics about an entertainer's tell-all memoir chronicling her days in the cabaret act Barry Nichols and Les Girls. "Libel!" cries another of Les Girls, setting in motion a talons- and fact-baring litigation that proves Les Girls will be girls and that Cole Porter movie musicals will always sparkle.
Gene Kelly plays Nichols, and Mitzi Gaynor, Golden GlobeŽ Best Actress winner Kay Kendall and Taina Elg are the femmes in this George Cukor-directed romp that won a Best Costume Design OscarŽ and another Golden GlobeŽ for Best Comedy/Musical. Among the highlights: a ribald "Ladies in Waiting" and a hepcat parody of The Wild One called "Why Am I So Gone About That Gal?" You'll be so gone about Les Girls.
