Brilliant and sparky musical / operetta, showcasing incomparable Marika Rökk, World’s best tap-dancer/ballet dancer/acrobat/singer. It’s extremely funny even by today’s standards, well written, well directed, and well-acted. The musical numbers range from big production numbers to intimate outdoor renderings, and both Heesters and Rökk are top notch. None of the Soviet or Hollywood actresses come even close to Marika!
