okay and so the plot be on shaky ground . yeah and all right and so there be some randomly insert song and or or dance sequence ( for example represent adam concert and henri stage act ) . and leslie caron can not really and um and you know . act . but somehow and an american in paris manages to come through it all a a polished and first rate musical largely on the basis of gene kelly incredible dance talent and choreography and and the truckloads of charm he seem to be import into each scene with caron . ( he need to and because she seem to have a. problem with emote . ) the most accomplished and technically awe inspire number in this musical be obviously the 16 minute ballet towards the end of the film . it stunningly film and and kelly and caron dance beautifully . but my favourite number would have to be kelly character sing i get rhythm with a bunch of french school child and then break into an array of american dance . it just go to prove how you do not need special effect when you have get some real talent . not on the classic level with singin in the rain and but pretty high up there nonetheless . worth the watch .
