Directors: Harry Horner, John Beal
Stars: Ronny Graham, Eartha Kitt, Robert Clary, Alice Ghostley, Paul Lynde, Carol Lawrence, Richard Barstow ... musical numbers choreographed and staged by
Watched on AmazonPrime, mediocre/poor print.
The comedy sketches don't engage my attention and/or I find them irritating.
The reason to watch this is the numbers by Eartha Kitt, and maybe the dancing.
Per Soundtracks, Eartha Kitt sings 6 times, 4 are solos. RC also sings 6 time, 2 are solos. 6 other songs are performed by others, including CL and AG. Numbers that are strictly dancing seem to be omitted on the Soundtracks.
Eartha's songs:
- C'est si bon
- Love Is a Simple Thing; she's 1 of 3 singers
- Santa Baby
- Uska Dara
- Bal Petit Bal, with RC
- Monotonous
This really deserves a 5 as a film, but Eartha is worth bumping it up.
