They say after awhile memories change.In his case,the film just seemed dated.Released in 1951 and running 113 minutes,what is still fine is Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron,maybe two of the finest pure dancers ever on screen at anytime or place.Sadly not enough in this film and also the music of legend George Gershwin,again,not enough.Too much Oscar Levant and a story that only has Paris as truth and nothing else.But that WAS hollywood then,pure escape from reality.Thats another meaning to the phase"they don't make em like they used to".Its a historic vital film of that time and should be seen by pure dance students.However,unless you want a trip down memory lane,and it is the lane you THINK you remember,its a risk.Thats why I took 2 stars off.Trailer URL follow the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
Three friends struggle to find work in Paris. However, things become more complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman.
