Film Information
On Academy Awards night, March 20, 1952, millions of movie fans huddled around their radios — the Oscars still weren’t a televised event — to find out if George Stevens’ tragedy A Place in the Sun or Elia Kazan’s seismic A Streetcar Named Desire would take Hollywood’s top prize. But the surprising winner that night was Vincente Minnelli’s An American in Paris, the sunny MGM musical starring Gene Kelly.
Jerry Mulligan is an exuberant American expatriate in Paris trying to make a reputation as a painter. His friend Adam is a struggling concert pianist who’s a long time associate of a famous French singer, Henri Baurel. A lonely society woman, Milo Roberts, takes Jerry under her wing and supports him, but is interested in more than his art.
