Can-Can, 1960


Another film starring Shirley and Frank Sinatra, Can-Can is the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical. In it, Shirley plays a dance hall owner whose performances of the splashy, illegal can-can dance tend to get her and her dancer employees in trouble with the law. When an ambitious young judge tries to bring the performances to an end, Shirley's character faces her biggest challenge yet.
