About this film

Jack goes to Andre's Barber Shop but no barber, manicurist, or shoe shine man wants to work on him. They all grouse about how he's stiffed them on tips in the past. On stage, Jack brags about the suit he's wearing: it only cost $12 in Hong Kong. He introduces Gisele who plays piano and sings "Smile." Jack asks her out to dinner after the show, but she passes because she's throwing a party--one Jack wasn't invited to. Finally, the violins come out and they duet on "Fascination /Puttin' On the Ritz." As they perform a classical number, Jack's cheap suit begins to disintegrate into rags.
