Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Stephen E — 26 Jan 2013
"An American in Paris" is the romantic-comedy blockbuster done right. Filled with fantastical set and costume design, splendid cinematography, catchy George Gershwin tunes and a fabulously-choreographed finale, it's such so enjoyable and lighthearted that you can't help but fall in love with it.
Sure, there are problems aplenty with the script, but you don't notice those until the credits start to roll. When it comes down to it, "An American in Paris" is wonderful, whimsical escapism.
You could have all the problems in the world, but you just sit down and turn this on, and for nearly two hours, they'd just disappear.
