The Countess Of Monte Cristo: Review

Sonja Henie's last film, and her worst, is a musical version of the story of the costumed film extras who pass themselves off as aristocrats. This time Henie runs out of an Oslo studio with her friend San Juan in tow and they set themselves up in Treacher's resort. Henie skates her way through six numbers and San Juan sings three: "The Friendly Polka," "Count Your Blessings," and "Who Believes in Santa Claus" (Jack Brooks, Saul Chaplin). (Remake of the 1934 film.) leave a comment
