Movie Reviews of An American in Paris [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: 1951's Movie of the Year OSCAR WINNER, comes to Blu-ray and is better than ever at 1080p!! (explained)
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I know another re-release of one of the best ever movie musicals ever comes to Blu-ray. Is it worth the up grade from the 2 disc Special Edition with ULTRA RESOLUTION for the standard DVD. If you have it and you have an upconverting DVD player with HDMI and a HDTV your fine as is, in my opinion. BUT, if you are a Blu-ray HD Home Theater with HDMI and 5.1 Sound and you don't own "An American in Paris" this Blu-ray Version has it all. (that the 2 disc special edition has and more)
This was such a fantastic 1951 Musical it received 6 Oscars including "PICTURE OF THE YEAR" plus GENE KELLY received an additional honorary Oscar for his outstanding contribution to Hollywood Musicals to include Dance Choreography. The TECHNICOLOR is so vivid the costumes, sets and lighting are UNBELIEVABLE, the best eye candy. Even today it stands the test of time. The entire musical is based on the music of George Gershwin. FANTASTIC!!!
Before Cinemascope (est. 1953), this 1951 Standard Definition is wonderful. NOTE: the larger the Home Theater Screen (I have a 9 foot HD wall screen with 5.1 sound theater) the more spectacular this film really is!!! The films colaboration had ALL the great professionals assembled in 1951. Gene Kelly, Vincent Minelli, Arthur Freed, Alan Jay Lerner, Johnny Green, Saul Chaplin, Michael Fienstein, Preston Ames, Irene Sharaff, Oscar Levant to name a few of the main players. Believe me this film is an artists palette in motion with Gershwin music, 'S Wonderful!!!
This Blu-ray program includes the 1080p Standard Aspect Ratio (4:3) film.
Outstanding SPECIAL FEATURES included are; A 90 minute "Concerto Commentary" Hosted by Patricia Ward Kelly (Gene Kelly's widow) and featuring rare, previously unheard interviews with Gene Kelly, Vincente Minelli (the Director), Arthur Freed (Producer), Alan Jay Lerner, and a cast of film authoriies and stars Leslie Caron (this was here film debut at 18) and Nina Foch. (One of the best film commentaries I've heard) Also a NEW Documentary's 'S Wonderful: The Making of An American in Paris and About the Ground Breaking Creation of a Musical Classic in HD. Plus a 90 min Biographical film of the life of Gene Kelly "Anatomy of a Dancer" (Very Good and very informative). More Features include radio promotional interviews with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron during 1951's film release tour. Movie Out takes, Trailers, Classic Cartoon and much more.
This is a must have Blu-ray copy of this Classic Musical Film. Great family entertainment with Great Gershwin Standards. Bring this classic to your Home Theater (the bigger the better) Enjoy!!
