Was Pier Angeli the woman in the red dress in the audience?+, 15 March 2006
8/10
Author: sandibiaso from United States

I saw this movie just to see a cameo of Pier Angeli. I ended up loving the movie but I wondered where Ms. Angeli was in this motion picture. Was she wearing the red dress in the audience of the first performance? I am pretty sure she was. If anyone knows for certain where Pier Angeli was in the movie let me know in a future comment about this film.

I thought this film was going to be a lame MGM musical but I was pleasantly surprised to find the plot and the dialogs in the motion picture well-developed. Cyd Charisse is very fascinating as the ballerina turned Las Vegas performer. Dan Dailey was convincing as a gambling man who tried his luck with the beautiful Cyd Charisse.
