Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Josiah B — 14 May 2013
It is a fine film, one of the most inventive and exuberant musicals of its period. it won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1951."An American in Paris" is a vibrant, colorful musical with magnificent dancing and songs that capture the way of life everyone believes exists in France - the romance, the cafés, the fun of poverty and the beauty of the city of Paris itself.
It isn't Ibsen. It isn't meant to be realistic; it is meant to be charming, and in that, it succeeds.
