After starring together in the movie “Bandwagon” (1953), Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse are relieve, better than ever! For lovers of musical/comedies, “Silk Stockings” is not to be missed!
When the Russian offficials glean out that their beloved composer Peter Boroff (Wim Sonneveld) does not want to return to Russia after staying in Paris, they settle to grasp action. They send three comrades Bibinski (Jules Munshin), Brankov (Peter Lorre), and Ivanov (Joseph Buloff) to bring him succor. But shrimp do they realize that Boroff had secretly agreed to create music for director Steve Canfield’s (Fred Astaire) novel Peggy Daiton (Janis Paige) movie. Steve then gets a view to construct a fallacious document saying that Boroff is actually half French! He easily convinces Bibinski, Brankov, and Ivanov to finish in Paris while settling the swear of Boroff’s nationality. Meanwhile the three Russians are having the time of their life smoking cigars, going to nightclubs, and enjoying themselves. The Russians choose action by sending in envoy extraordinaire Ninotchka (Cyd Charisse) to once and for all bring by not only Boroff but also the other three comrades. Extremely cool and very ‘Russian’, Ninotchka is disgusted with the decadent Capitalistic Paris. But Steve who starts to plunge in admire with her, is obvious to shatter her ice and to prove her how to live… and to like.
Everything is fair so totally incredible about this movie! From the fun-loving Fred Astaire, the cool Cyd Charisse, the three bumbling and hilarious Munshin, Lorre, and Buloffe, and of course, who can forget Janis Paige in her very wacky and outgoing allotment as the swimstar actress, Peggy Daiton! And of course there are the musical numbers! Here are the dance numbers (Not in any order) :

“All of You”: Delicate number done by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. Steve certainly finds out that Ninotchka can really dance!
“Siberia”: Hilarious number done by the Russian trio! It’s so astonishing seeing Peter Lorre singing and dancing in a musical number! And he seems to be enjoying himself so great!

“Silk Stockings”: Cyd Charisse showcases her ballet talents in this very well done and fair dance.
“Red Blues”: Very fun song and dance with the seemingly tiresome Russians having a tall time.
“Too Poor We Can’t Go Succor to Moscow”: I unbiased treasure this song and Fred Astaire gets to dance with three Parisian girls who definitely know how to dance!
“Fated to Be Mated”: Another Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse dance number.

“Ritz Rollin’ Rock”: There of course has to be a dance routine where Fred Astaire taps solo. And boy does he tap!
“Stereophonic Sound”: Janis Paige and Fred Astaire say the three qualities that are needed nowadays in movies.
“Satin and Silk”: Peggy Dainton is desperate to have Boroff’s music made into celebrated songs. This is the number where she ‘convinces’ him.
“Josephine”: The current song that is made from Boroff’s music, “Ode to a Tractors”. We never really bag to hear the whole thing though.

Here are some of my other accepted musicals/comedies which I highly recommend. “Win Me Out to the Ballgame”, “Bandwagon”, “Shroud Girl”, “Tea for Two”, “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, “The Barkleys of Broadway”, the three “That’s Entertainment” videos, and “Guys and Dolls”. Of course there’s plenty more!
Here’s an provocative Fred Astaire film from the slow fifties that is both dated and timeless. The timelessness comes from Fred and Cyd Charisse in a huge musical romantic comedy. The dated aspects are most of the digs at the Frosty War Russians, but it’s all fragment of the fun.
In this retelling of “Ninotchka”, lots of comedy mileage is gotten from the Icy War and the dim set of the Russian citizenry (“You mean you want to win IN to Russia? Of your beget free will?!”) . Three whole numbers are dedicated to the misery of being a Russian under Communist rule (“Siberia”, “Too Terrible, We Can’t Go Attend to Moscow”, and “The Red Blues”) . Some other tunes like “It’s a Chemical Reaction, That’s All” pit the Commie understanding of cherish against the excellent ol’ red white and blue all-American notion.
Two numbers, “All of You” and “Silk Stockings”, are both well worth the mark of admission. There has never been a finer example of the pure grace in the art of dance than when Cyd and Fred create in “All of You”. In the “Silk Stockings” number, Cyd solos in a balletic dance showing how the Russian robot becomes seduced by the luxury and femininity of Paris.
The Cole Porter songs are okay, but hardly his apex. “Ritz Roll and Rock” is an sharp curio if nothing else, as Porter and Astaire try their hand at rock n’ roll. Even though the song is so-so, the dance number is pleasing fine, and when the curtain rises on Fred in this one, you know he and he alone owns the dance floor… before the dance even starts!
“The Poet and Peasant Overture” is included as a short subject, apparently to note off the unique miracle of the CinemaScope widescreen process. As an uncommon, but added treat, an early Bob Hope short “Paree, Paree”, rounds things out. Bob gets second billing to the (now) forgotten actress Dorothy Stone in this 1934 musical tidbit. There’s even a uncommon, Busby Berkeley behold to the impromptu dance numbers, with a secure of leggy dancers forming ever-evolving star and pinwheel patterns.
A expedient disc by far for Fred fans, and a keeper, regardless.
