4.0 out of 5 stars
Cyd Charisse's custom-made vehicle a must-see for fans,
By
This review is from: Meet Me in Las Vegas [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This was the first (and really only) film written specifically as a star vehicle for Cyd Charisse and it is far and away the perfect film for her fans. While Cyd was always rather bland in her dramatic roles, in MMILV she shows an unexpected flair for knockabout comedy. The fantastic range of her dancing styles is showcased brilliantly from ballet to burlesque. Cyd was never lovelier than in this film, which displays every inch of her ideal frame (and her famous legs) in myriad ways. A must for Cyd fans. I withheld one star for Dan Dailey's presence.

What came first,
By Peter Gomm (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meet Me in Las Vegas [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Today this film suffers from not being associated with the times in which it was produced. Why did Cyd Charisse do that anti-Rock 'n' Roll number which today seems completely out of context? Does the film not emanate from the 'sane' world of the time giving its answer to The Girl Can't Help It which, incidentally, had a plot just as forgettable? The format is the same - guest appearances in cabarets by stars using their own name and, yes, don't miss the names in neon lights, Louis Prima, Keely Smith, the list goes on . It is all at once naive and fabulous, one of the voices in the wilderness against the intrusion of the decadent Rock. A collector's item!Simply cannot agree with the statement that all of the numbers in it were unknown, The Gal With The Yeller Shoes was a big hit and If You Can Dream featured at the time as well.

Meet Me In Las Vegas,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meet Me In Las Vegas [Remaster] (DVD)
Meet Me In Las Vegas Remastered!..This is a superb movie and also a historic one, be it just for the cast.
My only complaint is that if this was remastered I dread to think what the original video was like. May I suggest that Warner Bros. go back to the workshop and give this one the Blu-Ray treatment and remove all the picture defects, not that there are many, but some are disracting and there is a feeling it should be sharpened up, as the focus seems a little soft!
