Tony Curtis makes his musical-comedy debut in the frolicsome Universal production So This is Paris. Curtis, Gene Nelson and Paul Gilbert play three American sailors on leave in the City of Light. In record time, the trio makes the acquaintance of three lovely lasses: Gloria de Haven, Corinne Calvert and Mara Corday. Before the boys' 24 hours are up, they are inveigled into staging a benefit show for a group of tousle-haired war orphans. The whole thing resembles a Gallic variation of MGM's On the Town, except that the songs aren't quite as memorable. So This is Paris was directed by Richard Quine in much the same manner as his previous musical confections for Columbia Pictures.
