This song and dance film, the story is not touching. The key plot is that when the singer proposed to Liz, who sold perfume in a department store, and got her consent, he secretly heard the lady perfumer and the painter talk to each other, so she resolutely asked the lady perfumer to return to the painter. The arrangement of the plot is a bit far-fetched, and it cannot be said to have universal or typical significance. The beauty of the film lies in the many songs and dances. When the painter and his pianist friend and singer chatted over breakfast in a coffee shop, they sang and danced, which attracted applause from customers and street passers-by; the painter sang and danced to a group of Parisian children and taught them to learn English; When the pianist talks about his crush, Miss Perfume's ballet and modern dance; the ballet in which the painter and Miss Perfume express their affection; the singer sings in the theater; the pianist plays the piano in the concert hall; The ballet and modern dance that express the artist's inner world are very exciting, reaching a surprising level and even more pleasing to the eye.

  • Jerry Mulligan: Lise, I don't know whether you're a girl of mystery or just a still water that doesn't run deep, but there's one thing I can tell you. I'd been around sooner, you'd know by now that you're very pretty, and I'm not making fun with you.
