"In our lives there is a simple colour, as on an artists palatte, which provides the meaning of life and art. it is the colour of love." -Marc Chagall

An American In Paris (Vincente Minnelli, 1951) is a great film from it's time when musicals were a popular genre during the Hollywood golden age of musicals in the 1950's. The music and songs in An American In Paris are fun and memorable. It has some really intriguing and enjoyable dance sequences, with bright costumes and elaborate sets that make it bright and exciting. The end ballet sequence, although can be long, is spectacular with it's choreography, sets and music. In true Minnelli style, with a Parisian artist influence, the dance sequence is full of colour and extravagance. Gene Kelly in his prime time and Leslie Caron in her debut role, do a fantastic job full of grace and modernism, starting an awesome dance duo. Is a great movie for film lovers, music/musical lovers, Paris lovers and Kelly-Caron or Minnelli lovers.
