Film projection of the classic movie starring Gene Kelly, set to music by George and Ira Gershwin.
An American In Paris is coming to Showcase Southampton on Sunday 13 September, a film projection of the classic movie starring Gene Kelly. It's a chance to see it on the big screen rather than at home, and it's one of those titles that works better when the scale is right.
The story follows three friends struggling to find work in Paris, a situation that gets complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman. It's a romantic comedy at its heart, set against the backdrop of the city, and it's Gene Kelly in his element. He's joined by Leslie Caron and Oscar Levant, and the whole thing is set to music by George and Ira Gershwin, so the songs are as much a part of the story as the plot itself.
If you've seen it before, it's a good one to revisit; if you haven't, it's a classic for a reason. The Gershwin songs carry the film, and seeing it projected in a cinema gives the dance numbers the room they need. It's a Sunday afternoon slot, so it's an easy one to fit in without having to rearrange your whole weekend.
