An American in Paris



Re-watching An American in Paris, I didn't like it as much as I thought it would the first time around. As it stars Gene Kelly, I was expecting another "Singin' in the rain". Watching it again, i can see that this is a gentler, subtler film. The dancing is at times, breathtaking, especially the ballet sequence at the end. It features a Gershwin soundtrack and the introduction of Leslie Caron.

"You're a very stylish girl, can't we end this stylishly?
