An American in Paris

...sublime art direction from the great Cedric Gibbons and astounding choreography and footwork from Kelly, who makes Justin Timberlake look positively arthritic by comparison.

...there is charm and a kind of willed American innocence.

The real reasons to seeAn American in Paris are for the Kelly dance sequences...

...the dance numbers are first class, the backlot-shot sets inspired and the Gershwin song selection (‘I Got Rhythm’, ‘’S Wonderful’) to die for.

Gene Kelly remains one of the best and brightest of the Golden Era musical stars and An American in Paris shows him in fine form.
