Synopsis
The much-loved Gene Kelly stars as Jerry Mulligan, an American GI who stays on in Paris after the Second World War to live the bohemian lifestyle of a painter. Director Vincente Minnelli's musical is filled with pure 'joie de vivre' as Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and the rest of the cast dance their way through various romantic entanglements - with the film's set piece being a 17-minute ballet sequence set to a score by George and Ira Gershwin. The film won six Academy Awards - and Gene Kelly won a Special Oscar on top for Achievement in the Art of Choreography.
