- Synopsis
- Henri Danglard, proprietor of the fashionable (but bankrupt) cafe 'Le Paravent Chinois' featuring his mistress, belly dancer Lola, goes slumming in Montmarte (circa 1890) where the then-old-fashioned cancan is still danced. There, he conceives the idea of reviving the cancan as the feature of a new, more popular establishment...and meets Nini, a laundress and natural dancer, whom he hopes to star in his new show. But a tangled maze of jealousies intervenes...

-
"'French Cancan' vibrantly brings to life the dawning days of the Moulin Rouge, complete with high-kicking choristers flaunting their frills."
-
"M. Renoir's affectionate picture hasn't quite the class of Huston's Moulin Rouge. But it makes for diverting entertainment as sheer sentimental spectacle."
-
"The climactic cancan scene is one of the finest dance sequences ever filmed, and worth the price of a ticket on its own."
-
"This 1955 Technicolor musical is the easiest to like of Jean Renoir's late films, full of color, movement, and romance."
