 Rating:  - "Daddy Long Legs"Daddy Long Legs This is a very romantic story based on a book written in the 20s or 30s--Fred Astaire is perfect in the role of an "invisible" benefactor of Leslie Caron. If you are an "old movie buff", this one will please you! Rating:  - Astaire tried to do the best he could with this scriptIt's just that the script was really flimsy to begin with. A college-bound orphan, even one from Paris, would be a little more street-wise. Instead, we get an overgrown child who spends an inordinate time writing to her benefactor. She is angry that she has not heard from him during much of her college enrollment. Frankly, I don't find that a plausible development at all. Instead of getting involved on campus, or seriously attending to her studies to make attending college ...

The only problem I have with the film is it's another of the "teen age girl falls in love with old man" movies. That hasn't changed much over the years if you've seen any Clint Eastwood movies. Of course, I am an old man who would like to think it could happen to me. Fred is a "stand-up, elegant" dancer compared with Gene Kelly who is a "squat low, ... Read More Rating: - A touch of Old Fashioned CharmThis is a Musical for the discerning. Someone who appreciates the way things 'use to be'. Mr Astaire executes with effortless elegance, grace and 100% charm. A Youthful Leslie Caron almost flawlessly mirrors Mr. Astaire's natural effortlessness and makes you wish that you had enough talent to look so relaxed partnering a legendary entertainer. If you enjoy the innocent/natural charisma of a bygone era with its genteel elegance....you cannot go past this classic! On the downside ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
