Description:The film of Vincente Minneli An American in Paris projected on a big screen with live music from Gershwin performed by the Orchestra of French-speaking Switzerland conducted by Ernst van Tiel
In Paris after World War II, Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly), a penniless but talented American painter, tries to make it in the artistic capital. He divides his days between painting and his friends, including Adam (Oscar Levant), a sarcastic pianist, and Henri (Georges Guétary), a successful cabaret singer.
One day, a wealthy patron, Milo Roberts (Nina Foch), notices his talent and decides to support him, hoping to win his affection in return. But Jerry falls madly in love with Lise (Leslie Caron), a mysterious young woman. What he doesn't know is that Lise is already engaged to Henri, who protected her during the war.
While Jerry and Lise secretly love each other, their destinies intersect in a vibrant Paris, between elegant balls, lively cafés, and captivating shows. Between dream and reality, the trio must choose between reason and passion.
Driven by the music of George Gershwin and a flamboyant production, An American in Paris is a captivating tribute to love, art and the City of Lights.
Total duration approximately 1 hour 55 minutes without intermission
