Let's Make Love
1960 Comedy / Musical / Romance   

 

Review
This lightweight musical comedy was a box office disaster when it was first released, despite an impressive cast. Pairing off the international sex symbols Monroe and Montand may have seemed a good idea on paper but their on-screen rapport lacks any real sparkle.
