      Elizabeth Rogers: Since you're a Frenchman, why don't you speak with an accent?

      Andre Milan: I was born in Italy.

      Elizabeth Rogers: Oh. Then, you should have an Italian accent.

      Andre Milan: I went to school in London.

      Elizabeth Rogers: Well, then, why don't you sound British?

      Andre Milan: Because, I'm French!

    Deep in the Heart of Paris
    There are a few good songs in this movie, but most are as forgettable as the characters. Wendell Corey is not convincing as a Texan and looks hungover during the movie. He also cannot sing and does a terrible version of 'Deep in the Heart of Texas'. The characters are all shallow and Jane barely cares that Danielle deserted her as a child.

    I did like Hans Conried as a pushy waiter and the Four Freshmen have a nice musical number. Worth a look if you like any of the stars or you are a big fan of the genre.
