An American In Paris (DVD) ... ... / DVD released 02 June, 2003 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / The plot of An American in Paris is mostly an excuse for director Vincente Minnelli to pool his own extraordinary talent with those of choreographer-dancer-actor Gene Kelly and the artists behind the screenplay, art direction, cinematography, and score, creating a rapturous musical not quite like anything else in cinema. An American GI (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 final section of the film comprises a 17-minute dance sequence that took a month to film and is breathtaking. Gershwin songs specially arranged for the film include "'S Wonderful", "I Got Rhythm", and "Love is Here to Stay". --Tom Keogh

 ... complicate things even further Lise is not exactly free either as she is very much already spoken for. As the storyline unfolds we watch a love grow between Jerry and Lise, but will they get together or will they part, you will have to watch some exquisite dance scenes with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron to see the story unfold to find out if we reach a happy or sad ending. I will say thought that the ending is done in true Hollywood style and is fantastic and well worth waiting for. ~~ Songs ~~ Overture – Orchestral...more

~~ An American In Paris ~~ Many of you that read my reviews will know I really enjoy musicals. An American In Paris may not be one of my favourites, but it is one that I really enjoy and is in my collection, which is still growing. I have over 40 now in my collection and trying to find some of the less popular one’s on DVD is becoming a small challenge to me, so if anyone gets a copy of Lili, starring Lesley Caron I would love to hear from you: anyway I have digressed let us get back to the task in hand, the movie. ~~ The Film ~~ The movie starts in the Latin Quarter of Paris. As the camera rolls over the streets and buildings until it ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Glorious Technicolor (1756 words)

"The Greatest Dance experience ever on Screen". This is how MGM presented "An American in Paris" when it was first released in 1951. Unsurprisingly, it's filmed in Glorious Technicolour, although we're past the stage of the really Glorious Technicolor of, say, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", where the overall skintone seems to be a fuzzy bright orange. Gene Kelly's skintone in "An American in Paris" has a Healthy Glow, but it isn't neon. And I'm doing the film a bit of a disservice, because one of it's really good points is its use of colour.
