The real reasons to see An American in Paris are for the Kelly dance sequences, the closing ballet, the Gershwin songs, the bright locations, and a few moments of the ineffable, always curiously sad charm of Oscar Levant.

An American In Paris is muddled as an artistic statement, yet unsatisfying as conventional Hollywood product.
