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.

Seeing Olivia disappear from Gene's arms is how we are all feeling right now. RIP to my childhood crush

Even at this age, his every move was like that of a dancer. He never lost it. Olivia was a better dancer than we gave her credit for as well.

This was the B side song of Xanadu, and yet I listen to this song more.

Fabulous! (From 1980). Who knew she could dance like that? And he was still like the old Gene Kelly even at age 68!

This is absolutely wonderful. A step back in time to musicals, big band and a master of dance. Both of these did so well.

this holds up well - no one embarrassed at all - Kelly's final moment is gracious and sweet - this is a great song

At the time the movie "Xanadu" (which included this scene) was made and released (1980), Gene Kelly was about 67 and Olivia was about 32.

The quality of her voice is so unique and beautiful. There's no mistaking it.

I read this movie was a flop! NO WAY! It is in my top 10 favorite movies. I was crazy for E.L.O. and they wrote some or all of the music! I cried the day Olivia passed away. What a loss. WHAT A LEGEND!

The part where she fades in from a memory/ghost to where she fades out again, given her recent passing, is very poignant. Each generation, Gene Kelley was more my parent's, has its icons and stars whose passing tolls the bell on its illusion of immortality. I have watched 'Grease' a hundred times and even a snippet of it playing in a store or whatever will make me stop, watch, and smile. RIP Olivia and thank you.

Watching this the day after Olivia passed away. The final moment as she disappears in Gene's arms and he smiles that sad, wistful smile.

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.
