Never let it be said that 20th Century Fox didn’t get the most out of its story properties. The basic plot behind Walter Lang’s 1951 On the Riviera had already been used in two previously successful films: 1934’s Folies Bergère and 1941’s That Night in Rio, but On the Riviera had the decided advantage of a tour de force performance from Danny Kaye plus words and music from his wife Sylvia Fine. While the plot was starting to grow some whiskers by this time, the film certainly makes the most of its musical sequences which remain its greatest claim to fame.
