Romance
Henri Baurel, vedette de music-hall, Adam Cook, pianiste, et Jerry Mulligan, peintre américain fauché, se rencontrent à la terrasse d'un café dans le Paris des années Cinquante. Exposant dans la rue, Jerry fait la connaissance de Milo, une riche héritière qui le prend sous sa coupe...
An expatriate American painter in Gay Paree is involved in two intersecting romantic triangles where obligations, love and guilt intermingle. This is the narrative framework for Kelly's integration of tap and ballet and Minnelli's integration of music, dance, gesture and decor in a commitment to the characters' fantasy lives. Although not devoid of the celebration of community central to the folk musical, the display of sexual desire and the exoticism of the setting make this, in Altman's terms, a fairytale musical. In the context of the genre a certain seriousness of purpose and aesthetic refinement has sometimes been dismissed as pretention. Nevertheless the deep linking of dance to narrative and the ballet based on the paintings of Dufy, Utrillo and Toulouse Lutrec remain a watershed in expanding the musical's possibilities.
The film is a charming love story. Jerry, an ex-G.I. (Kelly), has stayed in Paris to paint. He falls in love with a woman who is due to wed another; ultimately, the painter and his French beauty are happily united.
An American expatriate painter living in Paris falls in love with an engaged French woman.

A GI (Gene Kelly) stays in Paris after the war to become an artist, and has to choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a French gamine (Leslie Caron) engaged to an older man. The plot is mostly an excuse for director Vincente Minnelli to pool his own extraordinary talent with those of choreographer-dancer-actor Kelly and the artists behind the screenplay, art direction, cinematography, and score, creating a rapturous musical not quite like anything else in cinema. The final section of the film comprises a 17-minute dance sequence that took a month to film and is breathtaking. Songs include "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," and "Love Is Here to Stay."
"Kelly plays an ex-GI who loves Paris and loves even more an alluring (but engaged) perfume-shop clerk. Dance sequences spun around Gershwin songs accent Kelly's romantic pursuit"--Container.
