An American in Paris (1951) was a landmark film in the careers of
Vincente Minnelli, Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. A joyous
celebration of George Gershwin's music, French art, the beauty of
dance and the fabled City of Light, the film was heralded as a rare
example of entertainment 'for mass and class alike'. Choreographed
by Kelly at the height of his career, it gave new stature to the
Hollywood musical, and showcased as never before the artistic
ambition, technical skills, creative imagination and collaborative
ethos of MGM's pioneering Arthur Freed Unit. Sue Harris draws on
archival material to trace the film's development from conception
to screen. Offering new insights into the design process in
particular, she shows how An American in Paris established the
cinematic template for a city with which Hollywood would become
increasingly infatuated in the decades to follow.
