Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian — 11 Feb 1960
The most distinctive things about the film are possibly Caron's personae-montage at the beginning, which showcases her virtuoso dance moves, and the final fantasy sequence, which resolves (a little hurriedly) the emotional obstacles to their love.
An exotically contrived romance.
