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.

You lie..."these guys" didn't have your negative attitude and outlook.

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?

@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 Жыл бұрын

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!!

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 are surprised to learn that Astaire was also a recording star in his amazing career. In the 1930’s he had a number of hits - quite often with songs that were written by people like Cole Porter and Irving Berlin that he introduced in many of the films he made with Ginger Rogers. I believe that he had more hits - in that decade - than any other solo artist except for Bing Crosby.
