April in Paris(1952), directed by David Butler. Is a musical film starring Doris Day and Ray Bolger. The story begins when chorus girl Miss Ethel 'Dynamite' Jackson, mistakenly receives an invitation from the State Department to represent the American theatre at an arts exposition in Paris, France. Unfortunately, the invitation was really meant for, Miss Ethel Barrymore. Winthrop Putnam, who sent the invitation tries to correct his mistake. That is when the adventure begins.

I loved the dance routines: "I'm Gonna Ring the Bell Tonight" and the political-themed dance with former Presidents' paintings, coming to life to dance.

The highlight of the film is when Doris Day sings, "April in Paris".
