REVIEW: Gene Kelly, producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and a skilled production team conjure up an entertainment for the ages. Kelly plays an ex-GI who loves Paris and an alluring (but engaged) perfume-shop clerk (Leslie Caron) in her beguiling screen debut. Dazzling dance sequences are spun around songs by the Gershwins. And the closing ballet – combining the George Gershwin title piece, impressionist set stylings and Kelly’s inimitable talent for telling a story in dance – lifts this winner of six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) into the ether of timelessness.
