An American in Paris - Trailer [1951] [24th Oscar Best Picture]

Jerry Mulligan, a struggling American painter in Paris, is "discovered" by an influential heiress with an interest in more than Jerry's art. Jerry in turn falls for Lise, a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Jerry jokes, sings and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist, while romantic complications abound. Written by Scott Renshaw

ill definately watch this movie cuz it has a lot of hype! im a huge musical fan, but honestly, im more into "updated" musicals because im not crazy about the really long dance numbers in the older movies.

[SolidRaider6]

The movie looks good, except for that scene with the two dudes and the piano.

[Xwimpo1995]

Where can i see this movie? i need the movie link

[SnowGirl098]

you realize it's this was made in the 1950s and equipment and machinery weren't nearly as capable as it is today.

[Robert Ardura]

Gene Kelly was something else! All that choreography he made up himself and then he danced his own made up stuff out. Ridiculous!

[medusawoman]

I did, I did! I watched it on his birthday.

[Dots7865]

Awesome movie I want this on DVD

[OurGangFan]

Thumbs up if you watched this on Gene Kelly's 100th birthday!

Caron and Kelly are great, but my thoughts always strayed to the Nina Foch character---I felt sorry that he dumped her at the end. One is left wondering--how'd she do? Pick up  another artist? Or learn from the experience?

[windstorm1000]

it was easier to do all the dance numbers on the sound stage--practical vs. scenic. Actualy the designer did a very good job of simulating Paris---the Montmartre scene had me completely fooled. I never guessed!
