8/10
THE FRENCH LINE (1954)
21 April 2020
Director: Lloyd Bacon Writers: Mary Loos (screenplay), Richard Sale (screenplay) Stars: Jane Russell, Gilbert Roland, Arthur Hunnicutt

Russell's bust in 3-D was the gimmick to sell this musical. Totally works.

I was expecting something awful, but I enjoyed it immensely -- mostly because of Jane, Mary McCarty . It wasn't nearly as good as GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, but it has it's moments. Jane is charismatic, you can't take your eyes off her - and the wardrobe -- to die for. Just wish TCM and/or Warner Archive will restore this movie to it's original uncut version and release it! If you blink, you'll miss Kim Novak modeling a gown. 8/10
