A joyous paean to the City of Lights. Tourists and natives alike on a madcap pleasure binge as the high and the lowly switch places. A wild ride on a merry-go-round sparked by Offenbach’s wickedly intoxicating melodies.
“Voila! Donald Pippin, bless him, has done it again. A parody that is really thrilling in effect! Tunes flow by with the sparkle of a mountain stream in this delicious spoof.”
— Marilyn Tucker, SF Chronicle
