Gene Kelly simply spellbinding, an insurmountable talent that must light up heaven as he dis our hearts when alive. The world is a little dimmer now his light is no longer here.
The shoes! I can picture little Michael Jackson going bananas watching this. The influence is so palpable. Ah legends learning from legends. Why wasn’t I alive back then?
I love, respect and admire Michael Jackson.Your opinion is irrelevant to me. So, if you don’t need my validation like I don’t need yours, please stop spamming me.
What an incredible example of what a dancer can be. Gene Kelly incorporated classical ballet technique with tap and jazz to make such memorable movie moments.
@@ronburgundy244 Not a bad movie, per se. But the dancing of the two principles is just rudimentary. They pulled off what they were asked to do but that's the point -- Gosling and Stone were not asked to do much because they don't have the dancing ability. There's no shame in that but the actors of today simply do not have the triple- and quadruple-threat talents of those in Hollywood's Golden Age. There are, to be sure, actors on Broadway who can sing, dance and act on par with anyone of the past. But movie-goers today can't tell the difference anyway so producers do not mine the stage for multi-talented people of no particular fame when they can get big names of lesser ability to carry the box office
Ok I usually don't comment on videos but I have to with the superiority that is Gene Kelly. For those that don't understand that this is true talent because there is no "twerking" just stop. This isn't some edited scene clipped together because the actors weren't able to film it in one go. This is one take of precision entertainment and perfection. From an actor who is known for being a stickler for getting every move right. This was a man who was proud of his craft and worked at it until he physically couldn't anymore.

ikr Kelly always seemed to be floating; the way he held himself, the fact that he made it seem effortless, and he was in sheer ecstasy with the joy of dance. If old Pavarotti is singing for God up there, Kelly is dancing.
I saw this movie yesterday for the first time and I can't stop thinking about it. I even dreamt Gene and Judy yesterday night. I didn't expect it to be so good! Gene's character is a little bit different than the usual and his chemistry with her is just AWESOME.
I'm a 16 year old guy and i literally teared up at the end.. Gene is extraordinary.. This is probably my favorite scene of all time..everything from the footwork to the lighting drives me speechless.. I was truly born in the wrong decade..
Out of the newspapers and squeaky board the ever exceptionally-versatile Mr Gene Kelly was able to create a brilliant,groundbreaking,and commendable solo tap-dance number as one of the main attractions in MGM's Summer Stock.How exuberant,inventive,and well-coordinated his dance steps & his animated interaction with the papers & the plank were.His whistling,his board-tapping,his paper-ripping,and Mr Harry Warren's beautiful music had remarkably produced truly-wonderful sound and pleasant mood.
As much as I love the "bigger" stuff he did (the An American in Paris Ballet, Broadway Melody in Singin' in the Rain) he really was best when he kept it simple. So brilliant.
I envy anyone who has never seen this before; the surprise toward the end was such a delight the first time I saw it. My very favorite part is when he gets up on those steps & digs in (4:03-4:09). What a powerpack! I have to scream "woo!" every time I watch it. This highlights GK's innovation & playfulness, and is an island of perfection in a dismal movie made only tolerable by Gene's charm & his chemistry with the heartbreakingly sweet Judy Garland.
And that Big Mouth Draft Dodger Clay called himself a dancer! Gene, Fred, Gene Nelson, Donald O'Connor, Ann Miller, Eleanor Powell, Cyd and Rita, Vera-Ellen...now THEY were dancers!! They'd probably dance the Draft Dodger right out of the ring !!
I love this movie, because if you know the back story behind it it's really touching. This was the last film Judy did with MGM and originally Gene wasn't going to do it. He did it for her. His first movie at MGM was with Judy, For Me and My Gal. He was a rare and amazing talent, something that Hollywood is missing today. I don't know if I'm the only one I doubt it, but when you watch these old movies they actually get you to feel something not just enjoy the flashy effects.
Pure genius. We will never see the like of Gen Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, etc again. So sad to how low Hollywood has become. So called "actors" are nothing but pretty boys and girls.
I think I've watched every episode of "So You Think You can Dance" since it started but there hasn't been anybody that even comes close to this guys talent. I could watch him all day. People probably don't think of dancers as athletes but just try and do what they do and see how that works out for ya.
I wish I was alive then where it actually was a purpose for living on this pathetic earth this almost made me cry just imagining the life in this time era oh God oh god L... ll
I'm sorry to have to say it...but if you weren't alive then, you certainly missed some beautiful things. But don't despair, enjoy what you have now as those who come after us will be envious of us. Just SMILE and be happy!!
Jumpshot31 I saw an article about that a while ago: www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/08/the-rise-and-fall-of-katharine-hepburns-fake-accent/278505/
@@NovaJake360 You've got to compare like with like and they danced quite differently. Gene was the top at what he did, and Fred was the top at what he did. Fred was slightly earlier than Gene, and Gene freely admitted his huge respect for the man. I think they only danced together once or twice, but Gene said he was the greatest person he had ever danced with, male or female.
These are edits for the camera set up, not removed filmed dance material. It's a complete dance as Gene conceived & executed it. Fear not, it's all there! Just exactly what he intended.
One of the best dance routines ever performed! And he makes it looks so easy so you almost think you can do it yourself, that's true talent if there ever was any...
***** TALENT AND EMOTIONS ARE NOT NECESSARILY COMPATIBLE... WHEN A COUPLE WORKS TOGETHER, THERE IS ALWAYS ONE WHO GIVES ORDERS TO THE OTHER... NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED... I DONT KNOW....
That's sad. He never looked at any other actress the way he looked at Rita. He wanted to marry her, but she liked him just as a friend. She refused to marry him and married Orson Welles. And you remember what happened.
She had one daughter with Orson, the other with Aly. And she was very unhappy with both of them. One was a wife beater, and the other was an empty-headed playboy.
The primary difference between Astaire and Kelly is that Kelly seemed to put a little muscle in his step, while Astaire seemed like floating. But this clip demonstrates the delicate, caring, observant Kelly. With that said, one cannot, should not, compare two of the greatest figures in musical/movie history. They were movie perfection in every step. This scene is one of my favorites because Kelly is projecting a sort of child-like curiosity that simply leaps into our hearts like a loving memory.
yes but also gene kelly was a choreeographer as well, he did a lot of choreography in singing the rain, and also what's great choreography if it isn't excuted well?
Athletic & graceful! If You watch carefully, the man was strong in ballet training as he incorporated into a "hip" & amazingly precise masterful piece of physical art that is worthy of his dedication, all around skill as an actor, dancer, & innovator. Amazing!!! Where has this kinda talent gone? It's still around, we just have to want it again!!!
i see alot of ppl on this page arguing that gene kelly is a better tap dancer than mj. although that is true, u must know mj wasnt about tap, he was about dance in general. i believe mj was the greatest dancer ever because even though he wasnt the best at a certain style, he covered all styles and moulded them all together. at this he was the best. watch his panther dance if u wanna see him tap dance.. anyway this is a gene kelly vid, plz just watch his genius and enjoy it...
I like MJ but the "King" is a postumous title given to him by his die hard fans who had NO art work of him on thier UA-cam pages before his death and alot of usernanes on Yotube with his name in the title who's accounts didn't exsist before June 25th.. King of Pop title was given by E. Taylor who was his best friend and again his fans rolled with it. MJ had never been called King at all by the media or peers while alive both times it's been his fans which don't count for objectivity.
Do you think the taps were done live on this one? Normally they are dubbed in later. I can't imagine it would be easy to dub this number when it predicates on the specific sounds coming out.
Dejardin was definitely influenced by Gene Kelly while filming The Artist. He liked how Kelly always seemed so grounded and always had a smile on his face while dancing. I think Kelly would have appreciated the film.
@rockclimber21 When it came to making musicals with our late friend Gene Kelly in them after the 30's were over, he pretty much was always put in charge of the dancing sections, especially if he was the leading man. This innovative incorporation of a creaky floorboard & a newspaper sheet were one of many results of his own creative freedom :o)
Wow this was actually really fantastic. It's great to see such a manly-looking man being so great at dancing. I was smiling so huge through this, it's so sweet and simple. ^"Gene-ius," haha! I also loved his awesome spins. So refined.
This was really fun to watch.. You've got good dancing, good music, good entertainment and Gene Kelly, what more could you want? ;) Good times.. Is there anybody else here that is 15 years old on this page?
slicchic, I dont know the name of it, but it would be: leftstep,rightshu-ffle (now you jump up) leftpickup,rightstep,rightheel,leftstep...it has 7 sounds...he uses it a looott on his coreograhpies... :)
This is why i enjoy older films true talent and unique , id take this scene over movies nowadays
Is there anything that man could not do? He.s one of my Hollywood crushes. What a gorgeous man!
back when you had to be superbly talented to be in front of a camera.
+Sitizen Kane I believe that most today's media people wouldn't be entertainers in the 1930s and 1940s. They wouldn't have enough talent for that.

Wasn't Elvis acting in front of the camera at this time? /=)
There were plenty of untalented actors in films of that era. The thing is that those films faded into obscurity.
not really actually
simple newspaper+noisy wooden floor+Gene Kelly = a memorable performace!
the talent of this amazing man was infinite!!!!
I wish I had been around when Gene Kelly was alive...;)

RiverBed Flower This is late, but it wasn't an opinion. They did find some shady stuff so it's technically fact.
A person's talent and their personal lives should be viewed separately. You can dislike or hate a person but still acknowledge their talent.

Fantastic Dancing by Gene Kelly. Brilliantly creative. Love you Gene always. ❤️

Died at 82 , he was a specimen of someone in shape . My father died when he was 83 , he worked hard ,smoked and drank hard. He also loved his pork .
He's the best.
: ) He taught my dad to dance. cool.
With all of the 'screen to stage' things happening in this day and age, I am frankly shocked that this one has stayed hidden under the wire.
As a teenager, Gene Kelly was my heartthrob. I was the only person in the early 90's who had a crush on Gene Kelly. Love this man.
