Gene Kelly spiller en tidligere soldat, som elsker Paris og i endnu højere grad elsker den tillokkende (men forlovede) Leslie Caron, som arbejder i en parfumeforretning – og som i øvrigt fik debut på det hvide lærred i denne film. Dansesekvenser til Gershwins sange er et led i Kellys romantiske bestræbelser, og den afsluttende 17 minutter lange ballet, hvor titelsymfonien, de impressionistiske kulisser og Kellys enestående dansetalent går op i en højere enhed, er med til at give denne seksdobbelte Oscar®-vinder status som en af de helt store og tidløse klassikere. ”Love is here to stay”, synger Kelly. Det samme kan siges om denne film.
