Lamas leaps about energetically and sings five tuneful Lehar songs, including Girls, Girls, Girls, Villa, and I'm Going to Maxim's. There are gypsy dances, a Parisian can-can and a lavish Merry Widow waltz, as well as a good deal of hand kissing, heel clicking, flower tossing, serenades under balconies and debauchery at Maxim's with Lolo, Frou Frou, Mimi, Yvette and Nicolette.

As Oxford Undergraduate Charley,* Bolger sings & dances in his ingratiatingly gawky style. And to get himself and his pal out of a romantic dilemma, he also impersonates Dona Lucia d'Alvadorez, his rich aunt from Brazil, "where all the nuts come from."
