gene kelly

Frank was such a good dancer. You see how much dedication that took him and he nails it so fine. He could dance exceptionally well. He acted very well too. He doesnt have to take a back seat to anyone when it came to comedy on Live At The Sands, and on top of all that he was THE MUTHA of all singers.

[HyruleLand]

That took 72 or 73 times just to nail it like that! Talk about dedication and hard work.

Hollywood had it right back in the day. The Navy has the most fun.

[cowgirlinla22]

love it, thanks for sharing!!

[LoveTeeC3]

"What a time we had tonight," *tippity-tap-tippity-tap* "...MMM!" I love it! Thanks for sharing.

[OgeeElle]

Gene was a real dancer, one of the best back in the day and up to today. I didn't know Frankie could dance although back then you had to be able to sing , dance , and act to get roles in Hollywood.

[miss9starr7]

Just look how graceful Gene was <3 ugh... why aren't men like this anymore?

[sraphael]

Frank is so gorgeous I could scream XD

[longhrons1]

They don't make them like they used to!!

[tucsonia]

Wouldn't have thought of the Chairman of the Board as being a dancer, but he does a great job of keeping up with Kelly here.

[GiovanniMariaTommaso]

Both of these men were top-notch dancers, singers, and entertainers, absolutely wonderful. They were great together when dancing was art choreographed to make a statement of beauty and not simply today's exercise; brash & crash!

[PhillyGirl1]

Gene had some strong legs and Frank looked comfortable. mad nice.

[fardaypu]

frank Sinatra could do everything.when people dance on TV now, you only see the face or arms, never the whole body. was this one take??

?when franks and gene fly over those bed its kinda magic.

[Grupo02]

This is why i respect dancers more than marines

[Xtos1989]

the guy who disliked this has two left feet and is named Adolph Hitler.

[MsNostalgicDi]

Only Gene Kelly could make that outfit look sexy. Mmmmm....

[Mark0wnsYou]

I didn't know Frank Sinatra , could dance !!

[Classic1940s]

@Mark0wnsYou hehe, apparently this particular number took hours of training with Gene, but it looks lovely, doesn't it? :D

[TheSuperk25]

81 takes men!

[GAClive]

Was it just me or was Sinatra watching his and Kelly's feet the whole time?

[GenerationOfAwesome]

@GAClive I'd be watching my feet, too, if I were dancing with Gene Kelly!

[GAClive]

@GenerationOfAwesome No kidding. I'm learning tap right now and it's so hard not to look down or at yourself in the mirror.

[safiyeTANK]

@GAClive Frank Sinatra didn't know how to dance until this movie, and as Gene Kelly basically taught him, then yes he was probably watching both their feet the entire time

[issurchaim]

all time classic routine that took days to perfect

[Sifjada]

Ohh... Love Frank Sinatra... What a guy!

[godfather118118]

there not gay

[godfather118118]

@PrettyTigerlilly well where i live gay mean that your a homosexual or in the old term that it use to mean that your where very happy

[TheStealthX]

@PrettyTigerlilly And just WHAT exactly is gay about men dancing?

[MrBrendanmannion]

They don't make them like these any more....

[Keytara1]

Which one? Frank S. was cute. Gene Kelly was extravagantly handsome. If you looked like Kelly, then wow!

[zipper179]

@Keytara1 Well, that's a long time back.. I was sort of a brown Sinatra..Hard to believe we were all 'cute', then.. At 65, I'm not that bad to look at.. The hair was black, and, as I mentioned, the belly was flat. Lost the teeth, but, I still have a head full of hair, though gray.. Love old movies.. I can still shake 'em down, 'Sugar Momma'..!

[Chelle8224]

my favourite Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra movie!! I grew up watching musicals like this; there's nothing like them...thanks for sharing :)

[virgoluvangel]

This is the movie that made me fall in love with Gene Kelly and movies from this period. Classic.

[HeathLedgerFanAlways]

this is the best scene and it's all due to Gene's great ability to teach Frank to dance. They rehearsed 8 weeks on this number, and it took 73 takes to get this scene, because Frank couldn't get the jumps towards the end right, but in the end the finished product is amazing..if i do say so myself.

[Keytara1]

Gee, was FS ever skinny, oh and cute! These two are adorable together, both were so dedicated to entertaining people. Where are there modern day counterparts/equals?

[drwinkle101]

@Keytara1

Why it's Beyonce and Lady Gaga of course! "Do you like what you see?" NOOOOoooo

[zipper179]

@Keytara1 That's how I used to look, when I was a sailor; queers wouldn't leave me alone!

[hellasexy22]

@zipper179

Hold up, for real? WTF!!!

[zipper179]

@hellasexy22 My hair was black; my belly was flat; and, I didn't put my teeth in a glass..135lbs ago.. LOL...!!!

[zipper179]

@hellasexy22 Baby, you'dve thought I was in an MGM musical, the way I looked in dress blues.. And, I could really shake 'em down, Momma..! Not too bad to look at today.. The hair's all there.. Like I said, black hair, flat belly; now, I take out my teeth instead of girls.. But, my wife loves me, even if that was all 145 lbs ago.. LOL..! Like I said, the queers just wouldn't leave me be.. Oh, they had good taste; I just wasn't available, dearie..

[shopj1957]

Two of the greatest " American Icons" ever!! Thats class, pure and simple!!!!

[deroiste16]

Love the two great smiles at the end!

[babyinblack]

frank sinatra can daaanceee

[lovetheoldies100]

kelly taught him this number -took 72 takes! he was a singer

[ababsurdo1567]

I recently hurt myself trying to mimic one of Gene Kelly's dance moves. That was dumb!

[hellasexy22]

@ababsurdo1567

I'm sorry but LMAO!!!

[sraphael]

Ahhh, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra make a fantastic duo, especially here. Its noticeable that Gene is much more confident with the dancing of course, but damn, Frank follows along very well for a natural singer!! My bf looks like a 20-year old Frank, so cute!!

[RAkkEL002]

i wish men were this handsome nowadays.. =p

[futureMRSjeter7]

....and talented! =D

[zipper179]

@RAkkEL002 Well, at least I was, back then.. AT 18, I looked 15..! LOL..! Honey, you ladies should've seen me in those dress blues..

[zipper179]

@RAkkEL002 I was..! I took out a lot of girls at night, baby..! Now, the only thing I take out at night, is my dentures..!

[angischy]

Oh, I can't wait to join the Navy. I hope we get to perform like this at graduation!!! wheeee!

(haha, if only)

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

lol FAT CHANCE! "Square that shit away or I'll lock you in the supply closet and tell the MAs you're a terrorist." That was the best line I ever heard from one of my superiors. But kickin back and having fun every now and then is ok too :)
