Two ex-comrades-in-arms team up as a song and dance duo. They meet two sisters who are also performers and become romantically entangled with them. The sisters have an assignment at a hotel, and are followed by the guys, who find out the hotel owner happens to be their former commanding general.
The script is absolutely dreadful. We are supposed to believe retired generals have a harder time than the discharged rank and file. As for the central romantic misunderstanding, it is very contrived and implausible, and the male protagonist never even gets to know what happened, and doesn't seem to care either. The film looks gorgeous in every aspect -- cinematography, costumes, dances, you name it. If you think you can focus on its aesthetics and not care too much about what is going on with the characters, you may enjoy this film quite a bit. I found I could not.
