The Gene Kelly Collection is an unbeatable selection of DVDs showcasing the marvelous Gene Kelly, the Pittsburgh kid whose ballet shoes burst with muscle and ambition. Singin' in the Rain (1952) is everybody's favorite musical, a sarcastic spoof of the early days of talking pictures directed by Kelly and longtime collaborator Stanley Donen. (Ah, the joys of DVD: to be able to zap into the blissful title number or Donald O'Connor's 'Make 'Em Laugh' at the touch of a button. Plus, the 2002 special edition is exceptional.) An American in Paris (1951), a dream project for Kelly and director Vincente Minnelli, is at its best in its glorious Gershwin numbers. Kelly's lengthy fantasy ballet, drenched in all the Technicolor MGM could muster, may have you thinking that this, after all, is why movies were invented.

Kelly and Donen forced MGM to let them shoot on location in New York for the exteriors of On the Town (1949), the movie that took musicals into the open air (and remained Kelly's favorite of his films). The spirited dancing and the wisecracking Comden-Green script make this an ebullient tale of three sailors on a 24-hour leave. The choreography plays multiple variations on the triangular team of Kelly, Jules Munshin, and a still-gawky Frank Sinatra. Finally, Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer (2002) is a terrific American Masters documentary, with oodles of superbly chosen (mint condition) film clips and interviews with many of Kelly's friends and colleagues. The emphasis is on how Kelly changed the image of the male dancer, complementing the aristocratic Fred Astaire with a more blue-collar, regular-Joe approach. It's an unblinking portrait, acknowledging the taskmaster behind the pearly grin. Those revelations make perfect sense when you see the astonishing dances: how could anyone this great not be a perfectionist? --Robert Horton

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - gene kelly collection
I really enjoy this collection. Not only does it have some really great movies, but it also has a documentary on Gene Kelly, and and extra dvd with Singing in the Rain. It is a very good value for what you get.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Every one a classic
What can you say about these three films? Every one is a classic, and "Singing in the Rain" is probably on a lot of "Ten Greatest Ever" lists. A lot of collections give you a masterpiece along with several minor works. This one should be in everybody's library. The documentary "Anatomy of a Dancer" recounts Gene Kelly's career, but of course most of the highlights are already on the other three DVD's.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gene Kelly movies
I really enjoy Gene Kelly. These are among my favorite movies that he has been in. A joy to watch. His enthusiasm, his dancing, his singing. These movies raise your spirits. I highly recommend this collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Gene Kelly
This item has all of the movies that prove Gene Kelly's ability to dance and sing. A quadro of fun with On the Town, An American in Paris, Snigin in the Rain, and an Anatomy of dancer will keep you entertained and smiling for weeks. Each DVD has a quality picture and sound.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT!!
If you like Gene Kelly you will like this collection. I bought it for my daughter who is a big fan of his and she loved it.
