Customer Reviews

Great George Gershwin – so, so Kelly

Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly), an ex-GI, stays in Paris to practice painting. There, he is patronized by a jealous Milo Roberts (Nina Foch). Meanwhile, he is trying to make time with a store clerk who is more than she appears to be (Leslie Caron). Not one of Kelly's best, but passable. However, even at his best, one has to have a taste for that sort of thing. He is sort of a Danny Kay type. His high-water pants are his signature and look out of place. He cannot sing worth beans. However, he did do a good job in "What a Way to Go" (1964). Even though this film is not a notable movie, Vincente Minnelli (1903-1986) directed it. He directed some great movies and some movies that you would never suspect that he directed, such as "The Long, Long Trailer" (1954).
