Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Tracey C — 06 Jan 2010
Gene Kelly, producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and a skilled production team conjure an entertainment for the ages. Kelly plays an ex-GI who loves paris and an alluring(BUT ENGAGED) perfume-shop clerk (Leslie Caron in her beguiling screen debut), Dazzling dance sequences are spun around songs by the Gershwins.
And the closing ballet-combining the George Gershwin title piece, Impressionist set stylings and Kelly's inimitable talent for telling a story in dance-lifts this winner of six Academy Awards including Best Piture (Plus an honorary Oscar to kelly), into the either of timelessness.
