An American in Paris & Gigi Special Edition
Posted on: September 8, 2008 user submitted | Views: | Comment
On September 16, An American in Paris and Gigi, two glorious Best Picture Oscar®-winning 1950s classics from the crown jewel collection of M-G-M's Golden Age of Musicals, join the impressive roster of Warner Home Video's
Two-Disc Special Editions DVDs.
Celebrating the musical genre at its peak while magically evoking the joie de vivre of Paris, these two motion pictures captured an amazing 15 Academy Awards® including Best Picture. They also share an impressive pedigree that goes beyond Oscar®. Both films featured the lovely Leslie Caron as their leading lady, had Oscar®-winning screenplays by Alan Jay Lerner (My Fair Lady), were produced by Arthur Freed (Singin' in the Rain) and directed by Vincente Minnelli (Meet Me in St. Louis). With an assemblage of talent like that, it's no wonder that both films have been popular for more than a half-century.
