Les Girls is a 1957 musical comedy film directed by George Cukor and starring Gene Kelly, Mitzi Gaynor, Kay Kendall, and Taina Elg. The film is set in Paris and follows the story of Sybil Wren, a former member of the dance troupe "Barry Nichols and Les Girls". Sybil has written a tell-all memoir about her experiences in the troupe and is subsequently sued for libel by her former co-dancer Angele. The film explores the same events from three different perspectives, with each version of the story presenting different truths and lies.
In Sybil's version of events, she accuses Angele of having an affair with Barry Nichols, the leader of the troupe. According to Sybil, Angele was in love with Barry and wanted to steal him away from his wife. In Angele's version of events, she insists that it was actually Sybil who was having an affair with Barry. Angele claims that she tried to warn Barry's wife about the affair, but Sybil convinced her otherwise. Finally, Barry gives his version of events, which paints a more nuanced picture of the situation.
Throughout the film, the audience is treated to several lively dance numbers, including an opening number featuring the entire troupe and a humorous dance sequence involving a haunted painting. Les Girls also features several catchy songs, including "Why Am I So Gone (About That Gal)", "Ladies in Waiting", and "You're Just Too, Too!".
Overall, Les Girls is a lighthearted and entertaining film that combines music, dance, and witty storytelling.
