This scene certainly harkens back to a day when entertainment wasn't sold by sex appeal or fanfare but rather the hard work and elegance of an incredible actor, the likes of whom we can only pray returns to American cinema one day.
@eatamymeata You are so right. People nowadays are only selling on how sexy they look, looks more than talent. i can name every singer famous today is because they look good, but not because they have any true talent. Gene Kelly had it all. And he made sure he worked hard to put on a polished performance.

This is just amazing there is nothing this guy could do wrong! Do you think you could post the whole movie? That would be great- but if not thanks for posting this great clip!
I heard he was a bit of a perfectionist & a ball buster. But WOW! what results! I mean he is just as fantastic on skates as in shoes! and towards the end he is just right in time with the music as it slows and then speeds up.
He's that guy that every woman wants and every guy wants to be like! Talented, smart and very sexy!
Wow! Insane amounts of talent not just from Gene Kelly but a lot of actors and actresses from this era. Wish we still saw stuff like this on the big screen. Thanks for posting!
what fgt, get a skateboard!

In 4:20 minutes Gene Kelly gave me more entertainment than years of modern day Hollywood acting.

Gene Kelly is the perfect example of a performer that doesn't need the help of technology to make him sound amazing, because he simply is.

I remember Gene being interviewed about this number and him saying it took 95 hours of rehearsal before he was ready to shoot the number,
Priceless talent and dedication to perfection. Thanks for the memories Gene!!!!

Why am I feeling so good? Why am i feeling so strong?
Why am I feeling when things could look black, that nothing could possibly go wrong.
This has been a most unusual day. Love has made me see things in a different way.
Can it be I like myself, she likes me, so I like myself.
If someone wonderful as she is can think I'm wonderful, I must be quite a guy.
Feeling so unlike myself, always used to dislike myself.
But now my love has got me riding hi. She likes me so, so do I!
