Watching Gene Kelly was like watching an olympic athelete perform. Unlike Astaire, Gene was a very acrobatic dancer and many of his routines reflected this. I remember one where its like he’s dancing on the girders of a skyscraper being built and it was incredibly cool and very acrobatic. I could watch that guy dance all day and I can’t think of anyone else I wouldn’t feel sheepish saying that about. Maybe Mr. Bojangles.
That movie was one of my favorites (though it did poorly at the box office): Living In A Big Way. And yes, he was known for being an athlete who danced. Or as he put it, how a truck driver or guy on your bowling team would look if he could dance.
