Gene Kelly plays an ex-GI who loves Paris and loves even more an alluring (but engaged) perfume-shop clerk (Leslie Caron in her beguiling screen debut). Dance sequences spun around Gershwin songs accent Kelly’s romantic pursuit. And the final 17-minute ballet -combining the title symphony, Impressionist set stylings and Kelly’s unique talent for telling a story in dance-lifts this winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture into the ether of timelessness.
