Amazon.com:
Just as Love Affair inspired An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle, Folies Bergère inspired That Night in Rio and On the Riviera. In Walter Lang's Technicolor version, Danny Kaye takes on a dual role previously assumed by Maurice Chevalier and Don Ameche. A master of mistaken identity, Kaye makes it his own. His Jack Martin is an American song and dance man based in Monte Carlo. When playboy aviator Henri Duran (Kaye with French accent) returns from his latest adventure, Martin notices a resemblance. He also notices Duran's neglected wife, Lili (Gene Tierney). After Duran is called away on business, Martin is enlisted to impersonate him for an important function. That gives him the chance to cozy up to Lili--and infuriate dance partner Colette (Corinne Calvet). Duran pays him back with an impersonation of his own. It isn't Twelfth Night, but On the Riviera is an enjoyable diversion. It also represents a family affair, since designer Oleg Cassini outfitted wife Tierney and Sylvia Fine penned tunes for husband Kaye (except for the standard "Ballin' the Jack"). Though considered a minor effort in the canons of Lang and Kaye--the musical was more of an audience favorite than a critical darling--Fox has done right by this long-unavailable title with an interactive press book, featurettes, lobby cards, and a pristine print (heavy on the brilliant blues). Look sharp for future Fosse hoofer (and wife) Gwen Verdon as a dancer and Tierney's famous Laura portrait above Duran's fireplace. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of His Best
On the Riviera thoroughly displays the amazing talent of Danny Kaye as he doubles most convincingly as an entertainer and the flirtatious fellow the actor is paid to emulate, since they look so very alike. Danny Kaye is one of the very few that acted from the heart and can carry you unabashedly to tears at the moment of painful truth with him or clown around and behave so absolutely slapstick silly you cannot stop roaring! Few actors have ever been so gifted with talent in all areas as this man ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Danny Kaye
I love Danny Kaye. Great for your collection though you may not view it more than once.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Danny Kaye - On The Riviera
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Danny Kaye as a performer. This film makes you feel good, and smile. Thank you for sending it so quickly, and in great condition.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - On the Riviera
If you are a Danny Kaye fan you will like this one. Not his usual crazy antics but fast paced. I hope his movies will continue to be released. I'm looking forward to "Merry Andrew."



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - a little kaye goes a lonnnnnnng way!
danny kaye, like so many comics from another era, is an acquired taste. his quirky faces, his voice that could accelerate from a soft high tenor to a keening wail in a matter of seconds and word driven patter songs were probably perfect on a 1940s broadway or nightclub stage. because, well, you can't clone someone live and in person--at least not outside the cirque du soleil.

but this film gives you two kayes in the third official remake of the fox musical 'folies bergere', which had ... Read More
