Number 8 Community Arts Centre

An American in Paris (U)

10.30am & 7.30pm

Gotta sing! Gotta dance!! Gotta paint!!! Digitally restored 60 years after it swept the Oscars, Vincente Minnelli’s Gershwin-based musical is an example of Hollywood’s golden era at its most imaginative and charming. Gene Kelly is at his dazzling best as Jerry Mulligan, a former GI whose dreams of becoming a successful artist have led him to the city of light, love and the Impressionists.

Much admired by wealthy patron Miro (Nina Foch), he risks her displeasure when he falls for shop girl Lise (Leslie Caron) who is already betrothed to Henri (Georges Guétary). A true spectacle of colour, costumes, music and choreography with some of the finest musical sequences ever filmed.

Directed by Vincent Minnelli
