    Mais c'est formidable! What a charming picture for a semi-rainy weekend. Tho I don't believe I had seen any of the actors before, they were quite an ensemble. And the music was such fun - shades of Edith and all that wonderful 30s-40s-50s music we Americans think of as so typically French. Thanks to Regal for continuing to bring great movies to Jacksonville - almost despite ourselves!

    A handsomely made French musical that never really soars.
