An American in Paris (film)
An American in Paris is a 1951 American musical comedy film inspired by the 1928 orchestral composition" An American in Paris" by George Gershwin.
Starring Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant, Georges Guétary, and Nina Foch, the film is set in Paris, and was directed by Vincente Minnelli from a script by Alan Jay Lerner.
The music is by George Gershwin, with lyrics by his brother Ira, with additional music by Saul Chaplin, the music director.
The story of the film is interspersed with dance numbers choreographed by Gene Kelly and set to Gershwin's music.
MGM executive Arthur Freed bought the Gershwin musical catalog from George's brother Ira in the late 1940s, since George died in 1937.
Some of the tunes in this catalog were included in the movie, such as" I Got Rhythm" and" Love Is Here to Stay".
Other songs in the movie include" I'll Build A Stairway to Paradise" and'S Wonderful".
The climax of the film is" The American in Paris" ballet, a 17- minute dance featuring Kelly and Caron set to Gershwin's" An American in Paris".
The ballet sequence cost almost half a million dollars to shoot.
It was filmed on 44 sets in MGM's back lot.
" An American in Paris" was an enormous success, garnering eight Academy Award nominations and winning six, as well as earning other industry honors.
In 1993, it was selected for preservation by the United States Library of Congress in the National Film Registry for being" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
It is ranked# 9 among AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals.
