Cyd Charisse was of course dazzling. But so was her co star Robert Taylor who did a great job playing a very cunning leading man. Well worth a watch!

A real treasure from the past. Great cast, plausible and engaging story, and a couple of performances from dance legend Cyd Charisse... definitely 5-star entertainment.

I was expecting a more of a musical but this movie juxtaposed entertainment and criminals in a way that I hadn't expected. Good performances by Robert Taylor, Cyd Charisse, John Ireland, and Lee J. Cobb paint 1930's Chicago with savage strokes.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017
I love Fifties movies, and "Party Girl" has all the earmarks of that decade. Ostensibly a period piece about gangsters, it was given a once-over by director Nicolas Ray that shaped it into a melodrama similar to the movies of Douglas Sirk. The Sirkian touches of pastel colors, warm background shots, and a leading man who must undertake a journey toward making himself whole and worthy of the woman he desires, seem to aim the movie towards a female audience. Lee J. Cobb fulminates in an over-the-top performance as a Don Corleone figure, and is even given an ornately styled throne to sit on in his office. But his henchmen, played by John Ireland and Corey Allen, are essentially pretty boys. ( Allen appeared as "Buzz" in Ray's earlier movie, "Rebel Without a Cause".) Ray dresses Cyd Charisse in a blazing red dress to signal danger, much as he gave James Dean a red jacket in "Rebel".

The basic conflict in "Rebel" had to do with James Dean's antagonism towards his parents. In "Party Girl", Nick Ray focuses the conflict around the fact that both Cyd Charisse (as "Vicky Gaye") and Robert Taylor ("Tom Farrell") are badly compromised by the things their occupations force them to do. Charisse's character is a dancer at an erotic revue and Taylor is a lawyer who works for the mob boss.

Taylor is stoic to the point of being stilted in his performance, but even though he looks like Mandrake the Magician, he plays a type of man that appealed to women at the time. Cyd Charisse---and who would ever believe that she grew up being called Tula Finklea---is, at age 37, as hot as she would ever be. She wears tight dresses and does the most provocative dances of her career. The second dance, which dresses her in a leopard skin print, steers the movie into Elvis territory ("Viva Las Vegas").

It's not the most authentic movie. It's supposed to be set in the Thirties, but other than a few pinstripe suits and dark shirts with white ties there is nothing remotely like that decade in the look and tone of the movie. Charisse was never that great as an actress, but she makes this movie memorable solely by the steam that her outfits and sexy moves provide.

One of the most beautiful women and talented dancer in the world, in this movie. Cyd Charisse aka (Tula Ellice Finklea, Born: March 8, 1922 in Amarillo, Texas) danced with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and others. A Texas girl who died a couple of years ago and was presented a lifetime achievement award by President Bush. You will never see dancing like this again. One of the "good ole" movies that are no more--not just killing everyone with machines. Robert Taylor was ok too!

What more can be said? I thought it was a fine movie with two great actors with class. Robert Taylor was at his best and Cyd Charisse was knock-down Beautiful!
Nice story about two people that needed each other to be whole again. Great dance numbers from Miss Charisse too. Robert Taylor was a fine actor and a Great American. They don't make them like him anymore.

Looking at my prior basic copy DVD of this movie and now watching the HD Blu-ray version, it's a much superior product now for viewing. The colors, etc. are just gorgeous and they did a great job transferring it over to HD.
The menu is pretty basic, easy selections. There is only the Theatrical Trailer and subtitles on or off.
I can now toss out that inferior manufactured on demand DVD disc.

If you want to see Ms. Cyd Charisse in two of her superb dance numbers as a Chicago night club dancer, this is the movie.
The main story is that she gets involved with a mob attorney, set in 1930s Chicago.
He turns out to be a pretty decent guy but staying with him through all the challenges involved will be another story altogether.

She looks good here in this one and I think it was her last decent movie with at least 2 musical numbers. One she has the pink theme going, outfit and background. The other is a wild animal theme as she is dressed in what looks like a cheetah pattern. lol Really good dancer!!

Recommended if you like Cyd Charisse and her dancing, and a decent mob story set in Chicago.

Reviewed in Germany on July 1, 2018
In »Party Girl« gehen Revue- und Gangsterfilm eine ungewöhnliche Liaison ein. Das Drehbuch von George Wells und Leo Katcher war bestenfalls Mittelmaß, doch Nicholas Ray, ein ebenso erfolgreicher wie unterschätzter Regisseur, setzte es unter der Ägide von Produzent Joe Pasternak so souverän und temporeich um, dass der Streifen künstlerisch wie kommerziell zu einem Erfolg für MGM wurde. Das ist vor allem Rays souveräner Handhabung des CinemaScope-Formats und einer ausgefeilten, von kräftigen Rottönen getragenen Farbdramaturgie sowie den ausgezeichneten Leistungen der Schauspieler geschuldet. Vielen Filmhistorikern gilt »Party Girl« als Rays optisch schönster Film. Kameramann Bronner lässt die Farben nur so knallen, sie explodieren förmlich auf unserer Netzhaut. Dabei wird nie zum Selbstzweck auf der Klaviatur der Farbpalette gespielt — das Kunststück ist, dass »die Farbdramaturgie als Allegorie über Fragen der Selbstverwirklichung und der Gewalttätigkeit verstehen lässt«, wie das »Lexikon des internationalen Films« lobte.

»Party Girl« entführt den Zuschauer in das Chicago der 1930er. Lee J. Cobb spielt den ungehobelten Gangster Rico Angelo. Dass mit ihm nicht gut Kirschen essen ist, demonstriert er gleich in einer der ersten Szenen: Während einer Party schießt er mehrfach auf ein gerahmtes Foto von Jean Harlow. Diese hat nämlich geheiratet und damit ihn, ihren größten Fan, tödlich gekränkt. Bei Rico sitzt also mehr als nur eine Schraube locker. Auf besagter Party tummeln sich auch sein Anwalt Tommy Farrell (Taylor) und die Tänzerin Vicki Gaye (Charisse), die in einem von Ricos Nachtclubs arbeitet. Die beiden sind sich sympathisch, und so nimmt Vicki den Anwalt »auf einen Kakao« mit zu sich nach Hause — wo sie prompt über ihre tote Mitbewohnerin stolpern, die sich aufgrund einer ungewollten Schwangerschaft in der Badewanne die Pulsadern geöffnet hatte. Ein dramatischer Auftakt für eine Liebesbeziehung. Aber nichtsdestotrotz verlieben sich Tommy und Vicki und wollen gemeinsam ein neues Leben beginnen. Doch da haben sie die Rechnung ohne Rico gemacht, der gar nicht daran denkt, Tommy gehen zu lassen. Er verdonnert ihn dazu, die Verteidigung seines neuen windigen Geschäftspartners Cookie (Allen) zu übernehmen. Der Prozess platzt wegen Bestechung, und Rico lässt Cookie umbringen. Tommy wird als Zeuge verhaftet und von der Staatsanwaltschaft gezwungen, gegen seinen Boss auszusagen. Also lässt dieser Vicki entführen und droht, ihr Gesicht mit Säure zu verätzen, sollte Tommy tatsächlich aussagen…

Robert Taylor gibt als gehbehinderter Anwalt in Gewissensnöten eine formidable Vorstellung. In Nebenrollen glänzen Kent Smith als politisch engagierter Staatsanwalt sowie John Ireland, Claire Kelly, David Opatoshu und Corey Allen, der bereits in Rays Rebel Without a Cause an der Seite von James Dean zu sehen gewesen war. Cyd Charisse hat schauspielerisch nicht viel zu tun, denn das Drehbuch schnürt sie in ein glamouröses Klischee-Korsett. Dafür bekam sie zwei Tanznummern, die choreographisch zwar nicht in die 1930er, sondern vielmehr in die späten 1940er gehörten, aber dafür visuell geradezu bombastisch in Szene gesetzt wurden. Trotz des späten Entstehungszeitpunkts und des unüblichen »Happy Ends« wurde der Streifen von Filmhistorikern als film noir klassifiziert.
