Let us all take a moment to thank the costume gods for giving us a scene in An American in Paris where Ryan Steele wears glasses and transports us back to Newsies.
With music by George Gershwin, the climax of the film is “The American in Paris” ballet, a 17-minute dance featuring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The ballet scene alone cost almost half a million dollars to make.
“…one of the finest musicals Hollywood has ever produced.” Kate Cameron
