Paris....

Paris…..never been there….but still tops my wish list. People who’ve been there, at times don’t speak too highly of it… too crowded, overrun by Senegalese, don’t get duped by the movies, so on so forth…yet my yearning to go to Paris is undiminished.
Maudlin as it may sound, it’s the sweetened romanticizing in the movies that has done me in...
‘An American in Paris’ a 50’s classic….Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron…great Parisian locations, banks of the Seine, French impressionist paintings…and of course “I got star light”
“Gigi” another musical fare with Leslie Caron.
“Love in the Afternoon” with virtuous Audrey Hepburn…Paris looks gorgeous in b/w.
“Forget Paris” Billy Crystal’s trademark….with a few scenes of wintry Paris…
“Bourne Identity” …car chase through stunning Paris.
‘Day of the Jackal”
And of course everybody’s favourite French film “Amelie”
