An American in Paris (1951)

Light up those baguettes, folks because this week the Balcony is in the City of Lights, France, where they got nude beaches but the girls don't shave their pits. It's An American in Paris directed by Vincente Minelli and starring Gene Kelly and really that's the story here. Holy hell. You seen this guy? Gene Kelly? Fucking incredible. An absolute star. One of the brightest of all time. There's 90 minutes of an adorable movie and then 20 minutes that elevates it to a level of greatness we rarely see. It's An American in Paris and it's a movie and we're a podcast!
