Perhaps the greatest dance musical, Kelly stars as a young artist who finds love on the Left Bank. As well as the Gershwin songs & score, including the blissful ''S Wonderful', An American in Paris is memorable for its famous climactic ballet sequence inspired by the work of Renoir, Dufy, Utrillo, Rousseau, Van Gogh, Manet & Toulouse-Lautrec.
Winner of six Academy Awards including Best Film. 

'The movie's boy-meets-girl story is simple, lighthearted and peopled with thoroughly likable characters. An ex-G.I. painter (Gene Kelly), happily roughing it on the Left Bank, picks up a charming shopgirl (Leslie Caron). They fall in love.... ' - Time Magazine, 1951
