AN AMERICAN IN PARIS
A starving artist (Gene Kelly) shares a Parisian garret with an unemployed pianist (Oscar Levant), and when an heiress and patroness (Nina Foch) takes an interest in Kelly and his canvases, it could be their ticket to the big time. But Kelly has fallen hard for a shopgirl (Leslie Caron). This multiple Oscar® winner — six in all, including Best Picture — features a beautiful George Gershwin score, including "I Got Rhythm," "Love Is Here to Stay," and an extended ballet finale inspired by Impressionist paintings: "Eighteen minutes of screen magic, unsurpassed in the boldness of its design and the dazzle of its execution." – Clive Hirschhorn, "The Hollywood Musical."
