Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
...the picture takes on its glow of magic when Miss Caron is on the screen. When she isn't, it bumps along slowly as a patched-up, conventional musical show.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
A musical both ludicrously overpraised (especially in Hollywood) and underrated.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
While not nearly the musical it's cracked up to be, this 1951 film is absolutely required viewing for anyone who wants to see the studio system (MGM style) at its gaudiest, most Byzantine height.
– Don Druker,

fresh:
One of the most imaginative musical confections turned out by Hollywood in years.

Gene Kelly remains one of the best and brightest of the Golden Era musical stars and An American in Paris shows him in fine form.
