The masquerade causes consternation for the entertainer's girlfriend, who of course has no idea what's going on, and for the tycoon's wife, who can't understand why her cold-fish husband has suddenly become so warm and demonstrative.
Beyond the obvious language change, the major differences between the two Folies Bergeres are found in their supporting casts: for example, Natalie Paley plays the tycoon's spouse role originally essayed by Merle Oberon, while Sim Viva, as the girlfriend, fills the dancing shoes of the English-language version's Ann Sothern.
Folies Bergere served as the basis for two future 20th Century-Fox musicals, That Night in Rio and On the Riviera, neither of which were released in French versions.

 PROFILE: Liliane Montevecchi / The many, many lives of elfin French chanteuse
She sings "La vie en rose" and "I Need a Millionaire," "Folies Bergeres" and "Just a Gigolo," plus an Italian pop anthem by Lucio Dalla and just a touch of jazz.
Her patter is easy and seductive, her tone ironic, her figure impossibly youthful, her smile still elfin and her hands a pantomime of warmth.
Never." This detail is curious, because Tune confessed to her and others when he cast Montevecchi in "Nine" that he had fallen in love with her when she sat on his lap one time in the legendary Parisian cabaret.

 Leonard Cohen: The Artist & His Critics   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cohen, the author of the present volume, is Jewish and a Montrealer, and these two facts strongly influence his poetry, which is concerned for the most part with the relationship between Jew and Gentile and with the inhumanity of modern urban society and its indifference to the fundamental human need for freedom and love.
Cohen's greatest weakness is an overuse of images of sex and violence, so that at its worst his work becomes a sort of poetic reductio ad absurdam of the Folies Bergeres and of Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors.
Harry Truman who remarked of the Folies Bergeres that there was nothing duller than the protracted spectacle of a large number of bare breasts, and it is a critical truism that images of violence shock only when used in moderation.
