Über diesen Film

Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron sing and dance to the music of George and Ira Gershwin in this winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. When ex-GI Jerry Mulligan (Kelly) remains in Paris to pursue life as an artist, he is discovered by a wealthy patroness interested in more than his art. But Mulligan falls in love with a French shop girl (Caron) who is engaged to his best friend.

Actually, I'd rate it a 3.5, but I couldn't give it a 4. "An American in Paris" is good. The songs are nice, the dancing is incredible, and even the settings (real & unreal) are a feast for the eyes. I just have two problems with the film. While the love story is ok, it just seems to move from repulsion to love a bit too quickly for one character (don't argue "love-at-first-sight", I don't buy it). And the WTH, last ~20-25 minutes of this movie that's a huge interpretive dance number... 🤷‍♂️?

George and Ira's music with Gene Kelly's dancing! And there is a well written love story.!!

Perfect in every way.
