Only two pictures have ever been described by critical concensus as "the perfect film"; Citizen Kane and An American in Paris. This was Kelly's magnum opus. His choreography was of such a standard that the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences created a special Oscar that year in recognition of his achievement. Though Singin' in the Rain is the film everyone knows, this is the film they should all watch. This is the routine everyone hould watch. Here is his duet with the stunning Leslie Caron, and if there is a more charged duet anywhere in dance on film I have yet to see it. All those fans of crappy celebrity ballroom comps should take note. This is how it's done
The solo just something else
When they try to make dance movies these days, they edit together hundreds of little jump cuts, each of them a fraction of a second long, to create the illusion that the stars can actually dance. When Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron and others of their day danced, it was real dance.
Love everything about this! The music, the choreography, the actors dancing....just enchanting
My absolute favourite movie scene ever of any movie!!! God, the music, the lighting, the dancing. I just can't!!!❤❤
La scena più emozionante del film!!! Io ho la tachicardia ogni volta che la guardo!
George and Ira Gershwin, genius composer/Lyricist.
We're still loving this in 2021.
This trumpet solo by Uan Rasey is absolute perfection. It is so hauntingly beautiful it makes every other solo of this passage from Gershwin's tone poem pale in comparison. Gene Kelly, genius that he was, went to Uan and told him the feel he was looking to create for this breathtaking pas de deux. Rasey and Gene worked together and THIS was the result of that collaboration. Rasey and other musicians of the MGM orchestra have told stories about how Gene Kelly would come to collaborate with them; how Gene would actually dance while the orchestra played so Gene could feel if the music was right or not. Kelly was an artist of unparalleled mastery when it came to putting dance on film. He was foremost a visionary artist whose deepest form of expression, whose first love artistically was choreography. The ballets he created on film have only grown in stature through time. I won't be at all surprised if some contemporary ballet companies start to make these ballets part of their repertoire.
Love.
The epitome of class and perfection
What’s the Gershwin piece they’re dancing to?
Merveille de sensualité ! Ici tout est au top ! La musique de M. George Gershwin, la chorégraphie de M. Gene Kelly, le charme, la grâce de Mme Leslie Caron et la mise en scène de M. Vincente Minnelli. Excusez du peu ! Un chef d'oeuvre que je partage avec la femme que j'aime !!! 👍👍
This is art!
Hey Pretentiousfrog, you know that Singin in the Rain is generally considered Kelly's best.
Now there is a detail about American in Paris beyond Kelly and Caron that makes it great.
ONLY TWO MOVIES
LoL
Bullshit. American in Paris is a great movie but it has gaping flaws. The musical scenes are awesome, the rest is shit.
The perfect marrying of music and dance - this is art in the truest sense of the word.
Thank you
Leslie was stunning in this picture! but, I also imagine how it would have been with Cyd Charisse in it. She turned it down due to her pregnancy. But, what a find and a new star in Leslie Caron!
