A charming period piece on many levels- a look at the 1890's from the perspective of the 1970's. Pleasant songs, none of which go on too long (except one- on purpose) and a very capable cast. The romantic lead is Daniel Davis, who might surprise those who know him as Niles the butler in THE NANNY, or Professor Moriarity on STAR TREK. Likewise Charlotte Rae (from THE FACTS OF LIFE) reveals a remarkably good singing voice behind her comic facade. The quality of the image is quite good, with the usual dificulties of shooting a live performance. There is one tape glitch about midway through, but I'm thankful that this minor gem survived.

This rollicking musical is set in Paris shortly after 1900. Full of chance meetings, mistaken identities, little deceits and big lies, this is a delightful French soufflé with bouncy music, witty lyrics, and plenty of laughs. Starring Max Wright (All That Jazz) and Emmy andTony-nominee Charlotte Rae (Bananas), this show was taped before a live audience in New York City.
