Daddy Long Legs (1955) is a Hollywood musical comedy film set in France, New York City, 

and the fictional college town of Walston, Massachusetts. 

The film was directed by Jean Negulesco, and stars Fred Astaire, Leslie Caron, Terry Moore, Fred Clark, 

and Thelma Ritter, with music and lyrics by Johnny Mercer. 

The screenplay was written by Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron, 

loosely based on the 1912 novel Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

This was the first of three consecutive Astaire films set in France or with a French theme 

(the others being Funny Face and Silk Stockings), 

following the fashion for French-themed musicals established 

by ardent Francophile Gene Kelly with An American in Paris (1951), 

which also featured Kelly's protégée Caron. Like The Band Wagon, 

Daddy Long Legs did only moderately well at the box office.
