Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Martin T — 27 Sep 2009
The ballet here is one of the better ones: colorful and lively. Still I couldn't wait for it to be over. The other show-stopper is a Levant's 5-minute bit. And I don't think Caron is compelling enough to be a leading lady.
Despite this, I was still won over. The Gershwin classics are married perfectly with Kelly's fancy stepping, the characters have winning personalities, and it's funny and charming with a simple but engaging storyline.
It's just an exuberant, feel-good kind of movie.
