Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron - An American In Paris

Only two pictures have ever been described by critical concensus as "the perfect film"; Citizen Kane and An American in Paris. This was Kelly's magnum opus. His choreography was of such a standard that the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences created a special Oscar that year in recognition of his achievement. Though Singin' in the Rain is the film everyone knows, this is the film they should all watch. This is the routine everyone hould watch.
Here is his duet with the stunning Leslie Caron, and if there is a more charged duet anywhere in dance on film I have yet to see it. All those fans of crappy celebrity ballroom comps should take note. This is how it's done

It's often confused with Rhapsody

Sexiest and most romantic scene in cinematic history, and they don't even take off their clothes! Damn you, Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, for setting the bar so high!!

Megan Fox has nothing on Leslie.

@jockdoubleday I believe that far too many people express far too many opinions as fact when they are anything but. People say far too much far too loudly about absolutely nothing, and that the world is full of sounding brasses that amount to an infinite deal of nothing.

@ChocolateFrogPrince Someone so obviously insensitive to such matters and so ignorant of basic English would do far better to keep themselves to themselves rather than cutting and pasting bits of trivia verbatim from the IMDB website to aggrandise themselves on meaningless messageboards....

@claretothe10th Given the grave nature of her condition and the events from which they transpired the correct "figure of speech" [or phraseology since this is a written and not spoken forum] would be "interesting fact"

To term something as "fun" from a genocidal global war and an occupation that bordered on slavery is the real expression of moronicism here.
