Editorial Reviews: Product Description Jerry mulligan a struggling american painter in paris is discovered by an influential heiress with an interest in more than jerrys art Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/27/2005 Starring: Gene Kelly Oscar Levant Run time: 113 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Vincente Minnelli Amazon.com essential video A GI (Gene 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 plot is mostly an excuse for director Vincente Minnelli to pool his own extraordinary talent with those of choreographer-dancer-actor Kelly and the artists behind the screenplay, art direction, cinematography, and score, creating a rapturous musical not quite like anything else in cinema. The final section of the film comprises a 17-minute dance sequence that took a month to film and is breathtaking. Songs include "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," and "Love Is Here to Stay." --Tom Keogh

Henderson (Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful An American in Paris [Blu-ray]I forgot to order this when Gigi came available at the same time on Blu Ray and just now caught up with it. I am more than happy with the restoration and have nothing to complain about. And the price is just right, too!! A nice night's entertainment. At one time there was a lot of outtake audio of Gene Kelly on a laserbox set and I was hoping some, at least, would appear here. Maybe when they release Singin' in the Rain(1952)it might have some. I believe that one is in the works now. wonderful classic movie. March 4, 2010 renee This is a wonderful movie. Excellent dancing. Gene Kelly is a master. Loved the second dvd ---American Masters Gene Kelly. Amazing talent. excellent film transfer March 2, 2010 G. Bauer (Sacramento, California) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This Blu-Ray disc features an excellent transfer of "An American in Paris". It should be pointed out that this movie was shot prior to the onset of widescreen and cinemascope, and is presented in the original academy format, 1.37:1 aspect ratio. Eye candy. February 10, 2010 Joseph M. Perorazio (Columbus, OH USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Warner's "ultra-resolution digital transfer" technology really delivers on this disc, Gene Kelly's daring and controversial ballet-within-a-musical that swept the 1952 Oscars and earned a place as one of the great film musicals. Picture quality is superb, and the colors pop, which really serves this film well, with its use of styles and techniques of the great impressionistic artists. The mono sound mix is warm and enveloping, not at all harsh or muddy. A fine example of an older film transferred beautifully to the new hi-def format of choice. American in Paris December 24, 2009 David F. Daniels (Green Bay, WI) The movie from 1951 arrived as agreed in excellent, like new, condition. Based on Gerswhin's music we loved the story, the sets/costumes, and the acting. Showing reviews 1-5 of 115 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...23 Next »
