This song and dance film, the story is not touching. The key plot is that when the singer proposed to Liz, who sold perfume in a department store, and got her consent, he secretly heard the lady perfumer and the painter talk to each other, so she resolutely asked the lady perfumer to return to the painter. The arrangement of the plot is a bit far-fetched, and it cannot be said to have universal or typical significance. The beauty of the film lies in the many songs and dances. When the painter and his pianist friend and singer chatted over breakfast in a coffee shop, they sang and danced, which attracted applause from customers and street passers-by; the painter sang and danced to a group of Parisian children and taught them to learn English; When the pianist talks about his crush, Miss Perfume's ballet and modern dance; the ballet in which the painter and Miss Perfume express their affection; the singer sings in the theater; the pianist plays the piano in the concert hall; The ballet and modern dance that express the artist's inner world are very exciting, reaching a surprising level and even more pleasing to the eye.

    The opening is quite interesting, different from other musicals, but the story development and ending are very old-fashioned. But watching Jim Kelly dance is still a lot of fun!

    Because the more beautiful you are when you have it, the more painful it is to lose it. An hour of movies, half an hour of singing and dancing, and 20 minutes of burden

An American in Paris quotes

  • Jerry Mulligan: I came to Paris to study and to paint, because Utrillo did, and Lautrec did, and Roualt did. I loved what they created and I thought something would happen to me too. Well, it happened all right. Now, what have I got left? Paris. Maybe that's enough for some, but it isn't for me anymore, because the more beautiful everything is, the more it will hurt without you.

  • Milo Roberts: Why do you make such an issue of money?

    Jerry Mulligan: Because I ain't got any. And when you ain't got any, it takes on a curious significance.
