What is Singin' In The Rain / An American In Paris about?

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, 1952, Warner Bros., 103 min. Dirs. Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. Co-director Kelly shines as silent movie idol Don Lockwood, whose career is imperiled by the coming of sound - until he hooks up with lovely ingenue Debbie Reynolds. Supporting cast players Donald O’Connor and Cyd Charisse also shine in brilliantly-choreographed musical numbers, with Charisse’s "Broadway Melody" ballet with Kelly nearly stealing the show. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, 1951, Warner Bros., 115 min. Director Vincente Minnelli’s most popular musical and 1951’s Oscar Best Picture winner features irrepressible Gene Kelly as a struggling-to-make-it painter in Paris, caught between the romantic aspirations of a wealthy patron (Nina Foch) and his true love, the young Leslie Caron. Kelly sings, dances and cracks wise with his smart-aleck buddy, pianist Oscar Levant, while trying to decide what to do. Also received Academy Awards for Screenplay, Score, Cinematography and Art Direction.
