A Technicolor confection from MGM, starring Leslie Caron as an orphan girl who joins a traveling carnival, where she falls for a charming magician and goes to work for a surly puppeteer. The "Oz"-like dancing dream sequence is a highlight, and the puppets have more life in them than some actors do. The Bronislau Kaper-Helen Deutsch song "Hi Lili, Hi Lo" won an Academy Award.
