Product Description

Known as a five-day wonder, director Leslie Goodwins actually wrapped up shooting this movie in five days. Forrest Tucker was an American actor in both movies and television from the 1940's to the 1980's. He served in the United States Cavalry and then performed in burlesque theater. While on vacation in California in 1940, he began auditioning for movie roles. He was a master character actor; best suited for westerns but flexible enough for any type role. He was a tall, stocky, burly looking man with blonde wavy hair, a lived-in face with carved features, a prominent jaw and a gruff, rugged voice. While his co-star Margaret Whiting was a dominant pop singer in the '40s and '50s, though whether she's a jazz vocalist is often in question. She had a clear, striking voice and the kind of quasi-innocent sensibility

Good Movie. Bizarre Packaging.......2006-07-17

What an odd, odd package for a great movie. The packaging says its "fresh from paris" and that the film is set in Hollywood.

In reality, the entire film is set in Paris in the Moulin Rouge. Stranger still the words "Fresh from paris" never appear in the credits anywhere. I wonder if there is some film out there actually called "Fresh from Paris."

That said, teh film is amazing and filled with sexy traditional burlesque routines and beautiful girls in a typical Hollywood showbiz plot.

It's a good deal.

It's Really Live From The Moulin Rouge.......2006-05-02

I honestly don't understand why this film was packaged this way. It's actually the very famous classic film "Live From The Moulin Rouge." The words "Fresh From Paris" were actually the slogan used to advertise the film, not the name of the picture. Very, very odd.

Still, I can't dis the film for it's poorly designed packaging. There is a reason this film is a classic - the high end musical burlesque performances.

It's not a standard musical. Instead it's live footage from the famous Molin Rough burlesque show in Paris. A small amount of plot is thrown in, but mostly just to move us from one incredible show number to another.

I think it may be the best example of real burlesque ever put on film.
