Brilliant dance sequences especially the big set piece at the end largely overcome terrible plotting and an unconvincing central romance.

An American in Paris: An American classic. I love how simple these films portray romance as well as the purity in it.

Every movie that has song and dance after “An American in Paris” are attempting to imitate “An American in Paris.”
