Paris in the Springtime Film Series: April in Paris

Doris Day and Ray Bolger star in this 1952 Warner Brothers musical. Day plays Ethel “Dynamite” Jackson, who receives an invitation to represent American theatre at a Paris art expo. The only problem is that the letter was actually meant for Ethel Barrymore. Love and misunderstandings ensue, amidst songs by Vernon Duke.

Additional funding was provided by The Hearst Foundation, Inc.; the Horace W.
