This may sound funny, but does anybody think the girl that played Roberta, Janet Munro, looked an awful lot like Leslie Caron with her hair short?

I thought she was Shirley Maclane for a while.

We thought so too.

BTW If I read right on her bio she was 26 y/o when the film was released in 1960?!

Could that be right?
