"S’wonderful, S’marvelous..."

Which is the better musical with George & Ira Gershwin songs that is set in Paris? An American In Pars (1951) or Funny Face (1957)? An American in Paris is the epitome of the MGM musical with Gene Kelly and director Vincente Minnelli. It's so good, it beat out dramatic masterpieces like A Streetcar Named Desire and A Place in the Sun for Best Picture. Funny Face shows what Stanley Donen could do outside of MGM, and is a great preview of where the musical goes in the 1960s, even if it has that old stalwart Fred Astaire.
