In this delightful 1952 M-G-M musical, a remake of the earlier musical hit Roberta, legendary director Mervyn LeRoy conducts an all-star with superb Jerome Kern melodies, spectacular dance numbers, and a show-stopping fashion show finale. Would-be Broadway producers (Red Skelton, Howard Keel and Gower Champion) decide to raise money by selling Skelton's half-interest in a Parisian dress salon. When they fly to Paris to meet the co-owners (Kathryn Grayson and Marge Champion), they soon discover the salon is as down and out as they are. A plan is quickly devised to turn dress sales around with a musical fashion show. But everything gets side-tracked when everyone starts to fall in love-complicated by the arrival of Keel's old girlfriend (played by a ravishing Ann Miller). With songs like Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and I Won't Dance, stand-out dance routines by the Champions, and a charming cameo appearance by Zsa Zsa Gabor, it's easy to see why Lovely To Look At is a standout musical providing enchanting entertainment.
