  • Gene Kelly is one of the best dancers who ever lived. Between him and Fred, Gene takes the cake. You do not see Fred Astaire dancing with roller skates, or dancing with Jerry Mouse. I love Gene.

  • I also prefer Gene. Though you DO see Fred dancing with roller skates... And he has done sillier things than dancing with Jerry the mouse, he has danced with shoes without a body, or on drums... No doubt they were the bests.

  • The first time I saw this, I think I had an orgasm. Performers today don't even compare to the genius of Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire or Danny Kaye.

    Oh Gene. How I love thee. Let me count the ways.

  • this man rocks my world!! he was a genius there will never be someone like Gene Kelly. Too bad people don't appreciate him anymore, his movies are the best ever

    RIP Gene!

  • Man, stars back then were so good at everything - acting, dancing, singing and c'mon, Gene Kelly tap dancing in roller skates?!! True talent right here. Why can't we highlight this kind of pure goodness today?...

  • Gene Kelly, I don't even understand how you were human. All I know is that you should come back to life and woo me

  • no doubt about it, Gene Kelly just rocks my freaking socks

  • This is fantastic! I can't believe he was 43 in this! Wow!

    Gene Kelly is amazing :]

  • A show stupendous skating skills sullied by a siilly song. Gene's genious. RIP

  • And another thing, Kelly was a VERY HARD taskmaster to dance for and with. Ask Debbie Reynolds. She didn't start out as a dancer in Singin' In The Rain, but she was by the end of it. Kelly made her rehearse until her feet BLED and then she had to keep rehearsing. But the results were gold.

  • You got your audience feedback immediately, with rotten fruit if your work was bad. All of that was a slow pressure cooker. The talented people with stamina rose to the top.

  • @musicalmeg89, we DO have people who can dance this well, but it's not that simple. All the stars of the silver screen era had the studio system developing them when they were young, poor, but very talented. That system no longer exists. They have to pay that money themselves. Also, there was Broadway, which is where Kelly was before movies. And, there was vaudeville, where Fred came from.
