7/10
What Is Truth?
15 December 2020
In London, the former dancer of the Barry Nichols (Gene Kelly) and Les Girls Company and presently Lady Sybil Wren (Kay Kendall) is sued by her former roommate and fellow dancer Angèle Ducros (Taina Elg). Sybil wrote a best-seller based on her memoirs from the time she was a dancer and lived with Angèle and Joanne 'Joy' Henderson (Mitzi Gaynor) and in a chapter she discloses the affair of Angèle with Barry and how she committed an attempt of suicide when Barry left her. However, Angèle tells a different story to the court and discloses that Sybil was indeed who had an affair with Barry. Finally Barry comes to the court and tells his side of the story.

"Les Girls" is an enjoyable 1957 musical based on the storyline of Rashomon (1950). The truth is told based on three different perspectives of the same story told by three former fellow dancers. The conclusion is funny and leaves to the viewers decide what the truth is. My vote is seven.
