Short description

Parisian nightclub owner Simone Pistache is known for her performances of the can-can, which attracts the ire of the self-righteous Judge Philipe Forrestier. He hatches a plot to photograph her in the act but ends up falling for her — much to the chagrin of her boyfriend, lawyer François Durnais.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Khrushchev attended the film set during his visit to America. Initially, Frank Sinatra and Maurice Chevalier performed the song “Live and Let Live” for the distinguished guest. Khrushchev liked the song, and especially its title. Then, a group of actresses performed the can-can, which ultimately gave the film its name. Khrushchev remained calm during the performance and even politely applauded their number. However, he told reporters that it was immoral, both from his point of view and from the point of view of all Soviet people.
