compare this to American in Paris, well is just doesn't measure up

Gene Kelly ans Leslie Caron were great dancers, the dancing in this is ordinary at best, the music can't match Gershwin's and it is humorless with an ordinary script. the actors do their best but it didn't keep my interest, why it should get award nominations I don't know except there is little in good movies coming out of Hollywood.

One should care for the characters in movies and that seems lacking in modern movies

Just my opinion and I'm sure I will be in the minority!
