Adapted from George Gershwin’s 1928 symphony, Vincente Minnelli’s spectacular musical odyssey stars the incomparable Gene Kelly as a starving artist who finds love with French shopgirl (Leslie Caron). This luscious love story set in Paris is told through vibrant dance numbers, choreographed by Kelly, and would capture the hearts of audiences everywhere, winning 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Cinematography (Color), Costume Design (Color), and Art Direction (1951, 113 mins)
