LESLIE CARON AND GENE KELLY - Lot 139
LESLIE CARON AND GENE KELLY During the filming of Vincente Minnelli’s musical “An American in Paris,” 1951. Photograph, vintage silver print, unmarked on the back. 25.3 x 25.7 cm, including white borders. Two corner tips show signs of handling. Note: In her film debut, Leslie Caron plays Lise Bouvier, a young French woman with whom Jerry Mulligan—a former American soldier turned painter in Paris, played by Gene Kelly—falls in love. Built around the compositions of George and Ira Gershwin, this musical blends a romantic plot, song, and dance in a stylized portrayal of the French capital. The film culminates in a lengthy ballet choreographed and performed by Gene Kelly, with sets evoking various French painters. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, An American in Paris won six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Color Cinematography, and Best Costume Design. Gene Kelly also received an Honorary Oscar for his contribution to film choreography.
