An American In Paris and the 24th Academy Awards

The Worthy boys tap dance their way over to Paris in order to discuss the Technicolor MGM musical film ‘An American in Paris’. Inspired by the 1928 orchestral composition by George Gershwin, this 1950s classic adaptation presents the French city with bright and lavish recreations of the iconic landscape. Our hosts also take a deep dive into the climactic 17-minute dialogue-free ballet featuring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.

We even debate whether an actor such as Gene Kelly can be considered as an auteur filmmaker based on their critical role to the production. The musical won six Academy Awards out of eight nominations.
