| Movie description | |
| One of the greatest of 1950s screen musicals is a happy collaboration between the grace and athleticism of Gene Kelly and colorful palette of Vincente Minnelli. An American G.I. lingers in Paris after the war to study painting and soon falls in love with Caron, an engaged mademoiselle, much to the chagrin of his romance-minded benefactress. Features a seventeen-minute, avant-garde ballet choreographed by Kelly to George Gershwin's unbeatable melodies. Academy Award Nominations: 8, including Best Director. Academy Awards: 6, including Best Picture, Best Story and Screenplay. Kelly won a special Oscar for his achievements. | |

| Editorial reviews | |
| "...[A] multi-Oscar winner (best picture included)..." USA Today - p.3D - Mike Clark "...Minnelli creates a magical, stylised world in which music, colour and movement are all perfectly integrated..." Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (05/01/2000) "...For fun and footwork alone, it makes today's competition look positively lead-footed..." Total Film - Kevin Harley (07/01/2003) "[T]here's tremendous wit in its love-letter visions of post-WWII expatriate-artist patronage." -- Grade: A- Entertainment Weekly - Steve Daly (09/19/2008) | |
