This is possibly my favourite Gershwin song - though it's hard to pick, because I like almost everything George and Ira did.
Posting it just because it makes a cameo in a story I'm finishing off today, which is about a music-crazy friendship between two teenage girls.
This version is my favourite, by Gene Kelly in An American in Paris. One of my favourite films of all time, and certainly the most underrated musical of the Golden Era... Who needs sex scenes when you can dance like Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron? Don't even get me started on the 20-minute ballet at the end. Just watch the film - it's perfect.
