Gene Kelly plays ex-GI Jerry Mulligan, a struggling American painter in Paris, who is discovered by an influential heiress (Nina Foch) with an interest in more than Jerry's art. Jerry in turn falls for Lise (Leslie Caron), a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Based on George Gershwin's celebrated 1928 orchestral work of the same name, An American in Paris became the first film to win a Golden Globe Award for Best Musical/Comedy.
