SO THIS IS PARIS
(Universal-International) PART from a small ration of sprightly dancing by Gene Nelson, I found this a depressingly unoriginal production. It concerns the adventures (mostly amorous) of a trio of U.S. sailors whose ideas of Paris seem to have been culled from the innumerable other films about sailors On the Town. The intellectual level, despite the intrusion of some self-conscious choreography, is strictly 0o-la-la; the routines are stereotyped, and even some of the music is secondhand. It would have been bearable if I could have seen it to the accompaniment of some purposive activity like eating; as it was, I was left with an inevitable sense of time wasted.
