Italy released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Like so many other films that were once considered 'lewd' and 'scandalous', The French Line seems as harmless as Pollyanna when seen today. Essentially a remake of The Richest Girl in the World, the film stars Jane Russell as Mary Carson, an incredibly wealthy Texas oil heiress. Lucky in investments but unlucky in love, poor Mary can never keep a fiance: either they're fortune-hunters or they don't want to marry anyone so rich and powerful. Thus, while on an ocean voyage to France, Mary poses as the model of dress designer Annie Farrell (Mary McCarthy), hoping to attract a man who is interested in her for herself, and not her millions. That man turns out to be dashing stage star Pierre (Gilbert Roland), but there's many comic complications and misunderstandings before the happy ending. ...The French Line

for jane russell fans
A charming movie...fun cast....fun songs....When this film came out it was condemned by the Catholic Church.....not many theatres played it.....it was in 3D. I finally found a theatre ...thought the movie was a lot of fun and never understood the controversy.

Censored!
First of all, the five stars are all for Jane Russell, who looks ravishing and makes this a very entertaining musical, despite the film not being quite up to the standard of, for example, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Jane Russell puts on a pretty good Texas accent (she's playing an oil heiress), has her usual easy-going chemistry with her co-stars (chiefly Gilbert Roland as her boyfriend and Mary McCarty as her best pal) and does a few good musical numbers (the best is What Is This That I Feel, which she sings after a few glasses of champagne).Strangely, though, this is a terrible print on this DVD, extremely grainy, although the sound quality is fine. Also, the infamous final musical number, Looking For Trouble, is the censored version where it's all done in long-shot with no close-ups, and cuts out the middle spoken section ("All I need is a man..."). I think the other version is better!

ooh la less
glamourous she may be but she is really the only thing worth watching in this garish "musical" ( i use the term loosely as the songs are really bad)and the hyped up dance routine costume was obviously designed to give teenage boys (and their dads)of the 50's wet dreams for a month.shame as she could be a good comedy actress but here the emphasis is not on the lines she speaks but the lines of her body.
