    Gene was adamant about not dancing in this film. The producers hounded him until he relented. But he had certain demands. It would be a closed set. And the entire dance sequence be from beginning to end. Not taped, edited, and spliced. So that entire dance scene is one single dance. Can you imagine the pressure on Olivia? Her talents never cease to amaze me. Her dancing was flawless and appeared effortless. What an absolute Angel here on earth.

    Olivia Newton-John's dancing is really under appreciated. Having to pair up with a legend like Gene Kelly and not be up to his level could have been a disaster but she held her own. Nice work Olivia and Gene. Also to composer John Farrar and choreographers Jerry Trent and Danny Ortega.

      @@lvg777 If anything, I'd call hers slightly over-practiced, not stiff. Being paired up in a scene like this with the likes of Gene Kelly would make anyone intimidated. She may have been overcompensating slightly, but it still worked out well for the scene overall. After all, Olivia is playing Terpsichore (as Kira) here, the Greek Muse of Poetry and _Dance._

Being "OK" when you're dancing with the Great Gene Kelly and not embarassing yourself is nothing to sneeze at.

    This film had such a silly plot that it got absolutely slammed by critics, and so its really great music, and especially these astonishing five minutes, never got the appreciation they deserved. This is the final on-screen dance performance by the great Gene Kelly -- performed at age 68, for heaven's sake. It was a remarkable valedictory which has sadly sunk into obscurity. (The big finish, from 4:17 on, is just breathtaking, as the years just fall away and Kelly is, by God, GENE KELLY.)

    Bad as this movie may have been - and still is - this is undoubtedly its best scene. Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John pull off an exceptional dance routine (courtesy in part of Kelly himself) which, along with the very charming music, serves as one big love letter to Kelly's whole career. It's completely unlike anything this movie had to present, in a good way. Nothing too flashy, just a guy and a gal tap dancing in an empty room in the most perfect display of reliving the glory days I have ever seen. It edges out even the "Dancin'" scene as my favorite moment in the movie.

    Even live, her beautiful clear, effortless, CD perfect vocals, even at high ranges, were amazing. From a time of live performances with no trickery and effects. 🦋

    I was 16yo, in Guadalajara. Well aware of the legend of Gene Kelly. BUT I was so impressed with Olivia’s dancing, so effortlessly natural. Like she did that every day.
    God bless you, Liv. And you are in my prayers.
