Buy An American in Paris- this documentary is a special feature

I enjoyed this documentary very much, great for any fan of Mr. Kelly! But I would suggest purchasing the 2 disc edition of An American in Paris, which has this documentary as a special feature, it is less expensive, and if you like Gene Kelly enough to own this documentary then you should own An American in Paris anyway!

Very informative

This is a very informative commentary on Gene's life and career. We have enjoyed watching it though we seldom watch it all the way through at a sitting. It is a bit slow paced compared to a Gene Kelly movie. My daughter did a paper on it for college and got a good grade. That was worth it!

I loved this CD on Gene Kelly. He was one of my favorite dancers when it came to musicals. I loved to watch him dance.

I highly recommend this to anyone who loved musicals.

For Dance Enthusiasts/Gene Kelly Fans

This video not only looked at Gene Kelly's dancing but at his personal life as well. Did you know that Gene Kelly:
introduced ballet into modern dance?; that Debbie Reynolds was terrified of him?; and that he danced with Fred Astaire? This DVD lasted approx. 90 minutes and I look forward to seeing it again and again.

A retrospective of a true American genius

When I was a student at UCLA in 1970, Gene Kelly came to give a free lecture to students. There were about 200 people in the room. He came in and gave a wonderful talk about his work and then openned it up for questions. He answered them all, the silly fawning questions and the more serious questions about dancing, movies, being a movie star, his masterworks everything with charm, erudition and consideration. It was impressive that a man of his caliber would come to a free to students lecture.
This DVD is definitely a keeper. I am so glad it was made. You can own the DVD's, but the commentaries are invaluable. They not only tell the story of the man, but also an important part of American culture, cinema and dance. The "good" image that America had throughout the world is because of the Gene Kelly movies that really did not need translation.
This DVD adds not only valuable information about Gene Kelly, but it enriches your knowledge and appreciation of Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Stanley Donen and other luminaries who created these works of art.

The life and career of this film star and innovator whose work includes Singin' in the Rain, On the Town, and An American in Paris are vibrantly recalled in this profile of the driven genius--often narcissistic, always a perfectionist--who reenergized the movie musical and redefined dance on screen. Packed with marvelous clips (including rare footage of Kelly's breakthrough Pal Joey Broadway role) and interviews with family members and Hollywood colleagues, Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer is the definitive look at a magical talent whose story has never been fully told until now. It's a life to be watched, celebrated, enjoyed. 87 minutes.
