An American in Paris
What a joy! It's M-G-M's Technicolor musical!
Directed by Vincente Minnelli
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Loew's Incorporated
A radiant, exuberant musical romance set in Paris that celebrates artistic ambition, friendship, and love through song, dance, and visual splendor.
Jerry Mulligan is an exuberant American expatriate in Paris trying to make a reputation as a painter. His friend Adam is a struggling concert pianist who's a long time associate of a famous French singer, Henri Baurel. A lonely society woman, Milo Roberts, takes Jerry under her wing and supports him, but is interested in more than his art.
