Gene Kelly

Kelly was a major exponent of 20th century filmed dance, known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks and the likeable characters that he played on screen. Although he is probably best known today for his performance in Singing in the rain, he dominated the Hollywood musical film from the mid 1940s until its demise in the late 1950s.(..........wiki)

I became a fan of Gene Kelly when TNT showed Singing in the Rain.........every musical of MGM featured him......he was such a fluid and proficient dancer.... never seen anyone moving so gracefully.... I used to wait and watch every movie of his shown on the little screen..... today thanks to the net.... i get to watch him everyday..... this man is a legend and has inspired many Indian song sequences.....i have posted a few of my favorites here....lets see if you can spot them all.....
