This was just an ok Jacques Demy movie. It didn't have the magic of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg or The Young Girls of Rochefort. I even watched one of his nonmusical films Bay of Angels recently and I liked that one better than this one too. Anouk Aimee does a good job though as the dancer who can't let go of her past love Michel despite the attentions of a childhood friend and also a sailor. I didn't think that it broke new ground. The beautiful dancer that men seem enamored by is a tired plot. Still, Demy would go on to better things.
