the young girls of rochefort (1967)

AKA Les demoiselles de Rochefort.
"Life, joy and happiness."
Delphine and Solange Garnier (Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac) are twin sisters determined to leave the small town of Rochefort for the bright lights of Paris, but over the course of one weekend their lives are turned upsidedown.
A pastel shaded and candy coated musical about fate and love featuring the music of Michel Legrand and appearances by George Chakiris and Gene Kelly. A perpetually sunny film, (even when they find out one of their friends is a murderer it is laughed off), that cannot help but charm you with its amateurish homage to Hollywood musicals.
