An American in Paris is my absolute favorite. All the songs in the musical are by Gershwin, and I love every single one. "Love is Here to Stay," "I'll Build a Stairway (to Paradise)," "S'Wonderful," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," "By Strauss," "I Got Rhythm," "Tra-La-La," "Concerto in F," and of course the two not used in the film ("Love Walked In" and "I've Got a Crush On You) are amazing compositions, and I find myself listening to them everyday. Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron work so well together; Georges Guétary and Oscar Levant are perfectly cast as well. I first watched An American in Paris on TCM, and I cannot wait to learn about it in the course!
