Frank Sinatra plays the kissing (and singing!) title role. Kathryn Grayson is lovely, coloratura-voiced Teresa - and who'd guess she would steal his heart before he could steal his first kiss? Sinatra brings infectious charm to the role of timid Ricardo, haplessly continuing his father's bandito tradition. Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse and Ricardo Montalban sway, swirl and clackety-clack through the vibrant, flamenco-style "Dance of Fury" number choreographed by Stanley Donen. And scene after scene unfurls with a splashy medley of Technicolor lavenders, reds, yellows and greens. Watch out, this bandit might steal your heart! (official distributor synopsis)
