Slightly French Overview:
Slightly French (1949) was a Comedy - Musical Film directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Irving Starr.
SYNOPSIS
This reworking of 1934's Let's Fall in Love features the Harold Arlen-Ted Koehler title song, and Sirk's bemused look at directorial ego. Ameche gets fired from a picture after reducing the star to shambles, but finds the right vehicle to realize his ambitions in Lamour, who exchanges her Brooklyn "dese" and "dose" for the elegance of French and, incidentally, wins Ameche's heart. An uncharacteristically lighthearted outing from Sirk.
