impression about two of Gene Kelly's movies

I finished watching Gene Kelly's An American in Paris. Comparing to another Gene Kelly movie, Dancing in the Rain, I find the same enjoyment in An American in Paris. I like the plot in American in Paris better though. However, the singing in the rain scene made more permanent impression on me than any scores in An American in Paris.

Singing in the rain was a bit long for my taste. I was impatient with the two abstract musical sequences. There was only one abstract sequence in An American in Paris.

Still I think Gene Kelly's movies are quite easy to watch. The dancing was very fun to watch. The personality of Gene Kelly was all over both movies. It is charming, relaxing, and a sense of naivety.
