...supposed to be a third-rate singer in a second-rate dive, belting out tunes to pay for schnapps and cigarettes. But as soon as she opens her mouth and begins strutting around the stage, the image?and some of the movie's credibility?goes happily haywire. Her liquid, throaty voice rises stylishly from a caress to pure, ringing brass. Her body?a broad-shouldered 5 ft. 5 in. with long showgirl legs?weaves a rhythm of its own even when she is standing still...
