 Musical about
a young G.I. who remains in Paris after World War II to study
art. Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly) wants to live the life of the
great painters -- holed up in a Montmartre garret, starving for
his art. But the reality is less romantic than the fantasy, so
when a rich American gallery owner offers to support him, he
agrees -- even if the bargain means joining her entourage of
lovers. Then he meets Lise (Leslie Caron), a young French girl,
and instantly falls in love. Unfortunately, she's already engaged
to Henri Baurel, an older man who saved her from the Nazis. But
when Henri discovers that she cares for another, he gracefully
exits, leaving the young couple to a life together. Academy Award®
Nominations: 8, including Best Director. Academy Awards®:
