Movie Reviews of An American in Paris [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Broadway must be the Champs Elys?es
Summary: 4 Stars
Another film I had never seen and that had become a myth. For the time it was a pretty good film with a lot of dancing, a small lot of singing, a great lot of romanticism, divided loyalties, but no jealousy, just love and gallant attitudes: better yield to the love of a lady than to marry her out of some forced gratitude. Then a sprinkle of French and good nice spots in Paris. A good touristic vision of that Paris that has probably never existed. and there we are we have a fairy tale in a satin shrine, but life is so much more different. Americans and bubble gum. The kids and everyone loves them. A real dream on and in a cloud. And yet it is charming even if with the charm of an absolutely surreal and unreal vision. In other words it is a perfect musical for Broadway, and that kind of show is perfect on a stage, and on a stage it is too often acted. The big gigantic staircases going down to the embankments of the Seine sound like some wooden sound stage because they are a wooden sound stage. It would have been so much better in the real setting. But I guess no camera or cameraman ever set one tip of a foot in Paris. That's what I regret about this mythic film: it does not carry nor convey the feeling and smell of reality. But a rather funny entertainment if you like forgetting about the real world.

Summary of An American in Paris [Blu-ray]
Synopsis: Winner of six Oscars(R) including Best Picture, this sparkling musical showcases the incomparable Gene Kelly with the lovely Leslie Caron amid the glorious melodies of Gershwin. Director: Vincente Minnelli Actors: Leslie Caron, Gene Kelly Awards: ACADEMY AWARD - BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY ACADEMY AWARD - BEST COSTUME DESIGN ACADEMY AWARD - BEST DIRECTOR ACADEMY AWARD - BEST ORIGINAL STORY ACADEMY AWARD - BEST PICTURE ACADEMY AWARD - BEST SCORE ACADEMY AWARD - BEST SCREENPLAY ACADEMY AWARD - BEST SET DECORATION AFI - TOP 100 MOVIE AFI - TOP 100 PASSIONS ZAGAT SURVEY MOVIE SELECTIONA GI (Gene Kelly) stays in Paris after the war to become an artist, and has to choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a French gamine (Leslie Caron) engaged to an older man. The plot is mostly an excuse for director Vincente Minnelli to pool his own extraordinary talent with those of choreographer-dancer-actor Kelly and the artists behind the screenplay, art direction, cinematography, and score, creating a rapturous musical not quite like anything else in cinema. The final section of the film comprises a 17-minute dance sequence that took a month to film and is breathtaking. Songs include "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," and "Love Is Here to Stay." --Tom Keogh
