The magic of Gene Kelly and the sparkle of Cole Porter's music mark this not-to-be-missed classic. In a series of flashbacks, three lovely ladies recall three delicious (and conflicting) versions of their past romances with Kelly.
Editor's Note
An original, unconventional musical boasting some of MGM's finest talents of the time, LES GIRLS tells the tale of a performing troupe of three charming girls who discovered that their romantic adventures got in the way of their act. The dynamite combination of Barry (Gene Kelly), Angele (Taina Elg), Joy (Mitzi Gaynor), and Sybil (Kay Kendall) are the former members of Barry Nichols and Les Girls, a popular European cabaret act. Years after the group is dissolved, the now Lady Sybil Wren faces a libel suit after publishing a scandalous account of the group in her memoirs. All the former partners are called into court to give their own widely contradicting accounts of those long-ago events, whereupon the film becomes a sort of musical RASHOMON. LES GIRLS is a dazzling adaptation of Vera Caspary's novel, featuring Cole Porter's last score.
Plot Summary

This George Cukor comedy stars Gene Kelly, Mitzi Gaynor, Kay Kendall, and Taina Elg.
