The city of Paris, as recaptured
in the new offering on the Rialto
screen Sunday and Monday, with
all its beauty, romance and gaiety,
is actually one of the stars of this
delightful picture, along with Kel-
ly, the French ballet dancer Leslie
Caron, piano-playing Oscar Le-
vant, singing Georges Guetary
and Nina Foch. They all get to-
gether in the story of Jerry Mulli-
gan, happy-go-lucky ex-G.I., who
has stayed on in Paris after the
war to eke out a precarious but
happy existence in a Paris uttic
on the famous Left Bank in the
hope of some day becoming a
world-famous painter.
This quest of an artistic career
brings about a number of compli-
cations for Jerry (Gene Kelly),
complication No. One being the
amiable, very rich and very preda-
tory American girl, Milo Roberts,
who is determined to make Jerry
her protege but finds that all the
money in the world cannot buy
love. Complication No. II occurs
in the person of the captivating
French perfume salesgirl, Lise
(Leslie Caron), with whom Jerry
falls head-over-heels in love, de-
spite the fact that she is betrothed
to another man. Since it is im-
possible to remain in Paris for
very long and be unhappy, the var-
ious plot dilemmas are resolved in
the picture’s final sequence which
takes place against a striking and
colorful Art Students’ Ball.
