    This is a very special recording. It is one of the few of Gene and Fred actually interacting with eachother in real life. You could really tell how good friends they were and how much respect they had for one another. It's such a shame that they could not have collaborated more with eachother. They truly were two of the greatest and most innovative dancers of all time.

      On weekends, in the VHS days, we would rent 4 or 5 musical films, starring Kelly or Astaire or Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, and binge-watch together with our parents and siblings. And we laughed together and cried together if it was a drama. We went to the cinema as a family to view both the “That’s Entertainment” films. Kids do not do this anymore these days. They just play video games and are oblivious to the rest of the world.

If he was cruel to her he would not have spoken to Donald O'Connor afterwards and told him he was sorry for yelling at him since his intention was to get Debbie in shape for the Good Morning scene and would have lost her if he shouted at her directly. This is what a gentleman would do and any master would have done the same. I wish I had a mentor who would give the care of day to shout at me to whip me into shape. Nowadays we have no one.

Astaire was on the scene in the 1920's and he's singing this song 50 years later in 1976 when many from his generation would have been yapping and whining like you about LA. You take liberties transposing your displeasures to dead people who can't speak for themselves in order to make it seem they agree with you. Why pick on the dead? There's plenty of alive folks who agree with you...tap one of them as an endorsee of your attitude.

      I have always been an old movie fan. Yes, absolutely, for me Gene Kelly is the master!! His dance style grew out of his beliefs and his world view and his respect for the working class. Not too hard to imagine, he's a boy from Pittsburgh, a working class town. That's a big part of why he didn't dance in tuxedos or top hat/tails. Most of his best dances were in street clothes. He wanted everyone to feel that just walking down the street with a little extra something could be a dance. But he was extremely athletic even as a kid (hockey, wrestling, later on as an adult a lot of volleyball) plus he was trained in ballet, so, no, not everyone could do what he did. He was AMAZING!!

    Gene Kelly & Fred Astaire were good friends while had different social circles they managed to work together well & everyone has tried to see a rift where there never was one!!

      They did "That's Entertainment" later in their careers...
      Fred had to be about 12 years older than Gene.
      I read somewhere that they lived near each other.
      In his late 40's Gene pretty much gave up dancing and became a very successful Director.
      Fred...on the other hand danced...danced...and danced well into his late 60's.
      As a little girl I had a real crush on
      Fred Astaire...which has lasted right up to the present.

      Colbert does a decent job. In Carson’s day, they didn’t have to do silly games and stunts to entertain the audience. Pure wit was enough.

    Astaire's passing marked the end of the first great era of Hollywood musicals; Kelly's passing marked the end of the second. Notice how there has never been a third.

    Wow, vaguely thought I'd seen some of this years ago, but now realize I hadn't. People will say Fred was the greatest dancer of all time. I disagree...he was the greatest entertainer of all time. You watch his work over the decades, he covered all bases. Tap, jazz, ballroom, ballet, modern, thrown all together in his unique Astaire way, and changing through the years. Add piano and drum playing, song writing. Then have him introduce more classic songs than anyone (Sinatra came close, but a chunk of his songs were Fred's first). And to see him and the incredible Kelly in one of their last appearances together, reminiscing? Heaven, I'm in Heaven!

      Many people forget - or don’t know - that ‘One for My Baby (and One More for the Road),” which is so closely identified with Sinatra, was introduced by Astaire in “The Sky’s the Limit (1943).

    I never realized how well Fred speaks on film. Seems so many actors around Fred's age did sound elegant crisp, clear.
    Gene's voice is fine yet not as smooth. I wonder if actors used to have to train those speaking voices for their films.
