Les Girls is an exceptionally tasty musical morsel that is in the best tradition of the Metro studio.

A delight to match that other Cukor musical, A Star Is Born.

Undistinguished Cole Porter score and lack of one brilliant, show-stopping dance number handicaps film, and keeps it well below standard of Singing in the Rain and The Bandwagon.

While Gene Kelly's hoofing remains delightful, he delivers only a half-hearted performance in a rather sketchy role. It's Kay Kendall who steals the show with a highly amusing turn.
