Pat Boone, Christine Carère, Gary Crosby, Sheree North, and Tommy Sands in Mardi Gras (1958)

Review by LeonardKniffel

Mardi Gras

7/10

Boone Is Better Than You Might Think

It's hard to think of this odd Pat Boone film as a must-see musical, but, set as it is in New Orleans during Mardi Gras it features some great costumes and street scenes. The silly plot casts Boone as a self-righteous cadet who falls for a visiting French actress, played with style by Christine Carere, herself a stunning French actress who retired from movies just eight years after this one was made. "I'll Remember Tonight" is the best song in the film, and "That Man" is amusing and "Bigger Than All of Texas" still resonates. Although the music is overshadowed by the plot, this is a much better film than I expected, and Pat Boone does have a wonderful voice. Best line: "We'll have old maids all over the world sobbing into their martinis."
