Daddy Long Legs -- Leaden May-December musical romance in which an aging playboy (Fred Astaire) anonymously sponsors an 18-year-old French orphan (Leslie Caron) at an American college, then falls in love with her. Directed by Jean Negulesco, the laboriously contrived plot works up little charm between the big production numbers and some pleasant songs by Johnny Mercer. Of unlikely interest for children. (A-I) (br) 1955
