Product Description
Ex-G.I. painter Jerry Mulligan resides in post-war Paris and falls in love with a young dancer who is engaged to another man.
Amazon.com
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

 Superb July 1, 2010
Papa Bling
Great Blueray version of this movie. As others have stated, this is how to restore a classic movie in high-def. This is one of the best bluerays I have seen, much better, I think, than the North By Northwest Blueray just out, although that is very good. An American In Paris Blueray is a must buy if you love musicals.

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

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

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.
