Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SPECTACULAR!
Review: MIRIAM GAUCI infuses this sumptuous production with STELLAR perfection! Brilliant set and costume design, but the focus always remains on this gifted artist. The final act - always somewhat of a 'let down' does not disappoint with its highly stylized 'view' of the American desert - neatly counterpointing the opulent reflections of European splendor [the salon sequences].

It is not a memorable score - there have been better, but for the purist - this one's an eye-opener of just how far one could go without flaunting bad taste!

Utterly charming and unforgettable once viewed - tech credits are fine, especially the cinematography.
