  • Gene Kelly is such a hunk

  • *swoon* I'll take Gene Kelly over virtually ANY of Hollywood's current leading men, thank you very much. :)

  • be my valentine x

  • on the movie xanadu, which is gene kellys last silver screen appearence, the main character sereandes olivia newton john on a sound stage too

  • Oh God soooo romantic.....ahhhhhh!

  • Anyone know how high is the ladder in the scene? I'm in charge of the props for the school musical and I really need help. It would be great if you know how high the ladder is.

  • @applesweet1759 considering how tall Gene Kelly is and his position relative to the ladder, it's probably six or seven feet. I would reccommend a six-foot ladder, because it will be easier to carry on- and off-stage and still provide the necessary height advantage =)

  • I remember watching this when I was maybe 8 years old...and I was completely entranced by it...I still am <3 I'm so glad I grew up with Gene Kelly!!

  • Too beautiful for words.

  • Thank you soooo much for posting this!

  • what time period is this?

  • @amala4laughs The movie was made in the fifties, but it takes places in the late twenties.

  • @amala4laughs 1952

  • 0:46 It's strange, I never see a green star before this...

  • @queenanne417 , men like that do still exist!!! i know one very well!!! just never give up hope!!!

    You're like a plaintive melody

    That never lets me free

    But I'm content

    The angels must have sent you

    And they meant you just for me...

    You were meant for me

    And I was meant for you

    Nature patterned you

    And when she was done

    You were all the sweet things

    Rolled up in one

    You Were Meant For Me - Gene Kelly

    Life was a song,

    You came along

    I've laid awake the whole night through

    If I ever dared to think you'd care

    This is what I'd say to you

  • If I ever get married, I'm going to sing this to my wife. I need to work on this vocally, but I know the lyrics and timing almost perfectly. :P

  • @kurtcobain279489 Wow I wish there were more men like you willing to do that :P

  • God, I want him to sing this to me...he's soo cute and I love his voice...

  • I am currently playing Don in a young actor's production of it...which Gene Kelly's granddaughter happens to be in. Needless to say, I'm a bit nervous at the prospect of preforming in an audience containing Gene Kelly's daughter...

  • This used to be my least favorite song. Now it's my favorite! I die when he sings "I've laid awake the whole night through". Favorite line of the song!

  • PERFECTION

  • Watching this is like falling into a dream-the whole world just stops for a few minutes.

  • I LIKE THIS SKIRT VERY MUCH EVEN IN 2011 STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSIC~!

  • Hollywood hat mir ein falsches Bild von Liebe vermittelt.....aber ich finds trotzdem toll! Ich bin für dich gemacht und du für mich!

  • I love their voices the most- the sheer strength and resounding depth in those classic 50s voices you just don't see nowadays, even in period films.

  • I'll be performing this tomorrow night. So I'm thankful I can see it on youtube before my show. THANKS IBARNARD86!!!!

  • life was a song, you came along...............<3

  • That fan probably killed at least 20 people back in its day, the thing looks lethal.

  • @lynseypdxda They still use them today... :/

  • My favorite movie of all time...This can always make me feel better. I only wish there's still a little bit of this pure romance out there for me...it's a shame not a lot of kids my age appreciate these movies just because they're "old"...this was when movies were at their peak

  • This is everything true love and romance should be...

  • The one person that didn't like this was just jealous at Gene and Debbie.

    Either that or a dim-witted idiot.

  • This is a wonderful movie. In my town we have an old theater and a boy and I went to watch this movie there. There is nothing like that. It was a great night lol. Thanks for posting it. I love this song.

  • And it's quite lovely that her daughter is best known for the biggest and best fantasy film of the 70s and 80s.

  • Watching those things.. makes me kinda mad that some people aren't immortal. but.. on the other hand its how we want him to stay. if he lived in this young form today he'd have changed so I guess its best to keep him stay like that in our memories.

  • i'll be honest at first i didn't care for this particular song but the more i listen to it on my ipod the more it grows on me, i stopped being ridiculous and now i like the song a lot!

  • Astaire paved the way for Kelly. Now who do we have to pave the way after Kelly?

  • @tmax45R The answer to your question is No one. There is no one who can even come close to Gene Kelly.

  • Astaire paved the way for Kelly. Now who do we have to pave the way after Kelly

  • My God! His voice is made of velvet.... I'll always adore Gene Kelly!!!! ^^

  • i want tap shoes that cute!!!

  • Thanks for posting! I looooove this movie and this song :]

  • Bliss

  • Why can't movies have this same charm anymore? They really have lost something in this century, I'll tell you that.

  • I came

  • where can i watch this movie?? it seem like such a good movie to watch!!!! please tell me!!!!!!

  • can u tell me ware i can see this movie?? i really want to watch the whole thing

  • This scene is so beautiful romantic. Oh yeah :)

  • it's funny, i never really liked this scene when i was younger-i always thought "boring" and pressed fast forward. now- i see what a beautiful story is told here between Don and Kathy's characters. She is still hesitant, still shy and somewhat resisting until about halfway through the number, but Don never stops pursuing her. He never lets her go. This number is a showcase of the embodiment of true love.

  • well done on your video, i have watched it and think you are really good at what you do, dont let anyone put you down yeah, you can check out my videos if you wanna :) xxx

  • What a wonderful masterpiece, I so love this song I just heard this song for the first time in the 1998 movie "The Object Of My Affection" with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd and I fell in love with it

  • Life was a song,

    You came along

    I've laid awake the whole night through

    If I ever dared to think you'd care

    This is what I'd say to you

    You were meant for me

    And I was meant for you

    Do you agree senor Petite??

  • @rozarashaan

    Yes Rozita I agree with everything

  • From the 1952 movie Singing in the Rain.........a classic treasure.

  • @nancyfloressantos Nothing like a good classic I tell ya :D....I just heard this song in the 1998 movie "The Object Of My Affection" and I fell in love with it

  • Gene Kelly is one of my favorite people of all-time.

    Btw, also Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Colbert, and Jackie Chan.

  • @Licreh haha you have an awesome variety.

  • this will be my wedding song one day.

  • They're both so adorable!

  • This is totally gonna be my wedding song and dance.

  • @xawnuhx aww you stole my idea! =)

  • @lvmychihuahua86 We can both do it. =P

  • this is one of my favorit parts of the movie

  • oh, i wish men like this still existed.

    THIS is true romance. (:

    simply beautiful.

  • @queenanne417 They do! You just have to find them. Nice guys are scooped up quickly.

  • I love the way he looks into her eyes... :)

  • I helped a good friend of mine recreate this scene on stage after a show to his girlfriend. It was incredible.

  • I'm 19, and I never am afraid to play little romances like this to my girlfriend. Long live these movies. Movies and radio are so not the same anymore, and it's sad.

  • @Poxell91 You're girlfriend is lucky.

  • @PeaceNdLovee Thank you. How nice of you. :)

  • @Poxell91 Nice enough to steal you away? lol No, I'm kidding. I wish you and your girlfriend nothing but happiness.

  • @Poxell91 OK, now I'm in love with you. I despair finding someone who's not afraid of being romantic.

  • @Poxell91 and she is probably the luckiest person in the world

  • I agree with you, i'm 18 myself, and it is very sad how much things have changed.

    @Poxell91

  • @SayyWhaa123 Well, you guys are proof that it's not all bad, liking it at your age!

  • @Poxell91 that comment literally made my day! i'm 17 and i wish life was a little bit more like this film, so whoever your girlfriend is, she's lucky to have you :)

  • @Poxell91 I want a boyfriend like you then...

  • @Poxell91 Oh my goodness more guys need to be like you!!!! That is amazing, your girlfriend is indeed very lucky, and I completely agree with you about how sad it is, that they don't make movies or songs like these anymore :(

  • Can you fathom such romance? lovely..thank you..for sharing this...

  • My best friend introduced me to this amazing movie and I watch it all the time. This scene is my favorite moment of the entire movie. This may not be the most romantic scene in History but none the less the most beautiful to me. Nowadys movies are all about sex. I miss the good old days when it more about the unique connection/ bond the couple had for one another. Look at the way Gene looks at Debbie, u don't see that often anymore.

  • I love it how he sets up a fake setting to show her his true feelings. Beautiful song, wonderful movie moment, great lyrics. sob!!

  • I LOVE THIS!!!! I LOVE HER DRESS! I LOVE THE DANCE SEQUENCE!!!!!! *SIGH* THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE MUSICAL!!!!! There will never be anything like this again!

  • *Sigh* This film is everything a movie should be. We've lost the magic in modern films. Being real is all good and fine, but I'll take the magic of Gene Kelly over 'realistic' movies any day.

  • I love This Fim and Debbie Reynolds is Exquisite!

  • this is so beautiful
