When 20th Century Fox lost the music rights for Irving Berlin's score to Call Me Madam, the film was withdrawn from public exhibition for twenty years. Consequently, it is not as well known as other big production musicals of the day, such as The Band Wagon, Kiss Me, Kate and Brigadoon, though it can comfortably stand alongside these better-remembered films. Thankfully, it resurfaced on DVD in 2004, and can now reclaim its place among the finest musicals of the 1950's.
