The story of an American painter picking up girls, but the narrative angle has long been a problem, and the plot has become weaker after that. But this classic musical film has three selling points to make up for: the famous tunes of American composer George Gershwin, the vigorous dancing of the protagonist Gene Kelly, and the uncompromising performance of director Minnelli. Created fancy scenes and scheduling. An ultimate audio-visual feast. (4/06)
