The perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon! Musicals in May at New Canaan Library presents a screening of An American in Paris, the legendary Gershwin musical starring Gene Kelly, directed by Vincent Minnelli.
Jerry Mulligan, a struggling American painter in Paris, is “discovered” by an influential heiress interested in more than Jerry’s art. Jerry, in turn, falls for Lise, a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Jerry jokes, sings, and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist, while romantic complications abound.
