Anybody who holds their own against the likes of Gene Kelly deserves max respect. And the song and dance during 'make em laugh' is legendary. Running up those walls man....Great job !
Donald O’ Connor had a talk show briefly during the 60’s where he said he regretted doing the Frances, talking horse movies. His guests didn’t reply, but you could see he felt these movies had affected his prestige. But the video is saying they were made during the late 40’s or early 50’s? And, if so, by the time of MGM musicals like ‘Singin in the Rain, he was certainly a star of the screen. Working side by side with Gene Kelly.
❤❤I LOVED DONALD O'CONNER ESPECIALLY IN THE 1950's "FRANCIS" MOVIES (a kid of 1950's-1960's) !!❤❤ IN FACT, I LOVE A LL HIS MOVIES BECAUSE OF THE GREAT DANCING & HE WAS REALLY FUNNY!! IT MAKES ME REALLY SAD HOW HE STRUGGLED AS HE GOT OLDER........MISS YOU MUCH, DONALD!!❤😢❤
@@SuperBonnie5 Not to be funny, why is his picture in the video? And looking at the age difference and seeing how more modern the cousin's pic looks, they must be like 2nd or 3rd cousins. And thank you, they do look alike, but I knew it was not him.
Enjoyed alot of his movies back n the day..hey i appreciate you not using Ai...its more personable..more channels are using Ai..its so disengenuous.thx for that..smooth ez voice is much better..God Bless All😊
I had no problem with this video. The majority of the pictures are very clear. Sometimes you can get a better picture using the settings. It’s a shame because it is quite an interesting and informative video.

I remember seeing the Francis movies on TV in the 60s on the weekend matinees. My mom was a huge fan.

Me too! The musicals and Francis were my favorites as a little kid.❤
*How sad to learn that Donald O'Connor led such a life full of heartbreaking tragedy.*
He could hv bn a dramatic actor too.
Who is the blonde kid on the left at around 4:36?
His cousin

They are so similar that I got confused
Saw him along with ickey Rooney at the Long Beach Convention Center either in the late 1980's or early 1990's.
"dark facts" indeed. pure clickbait. He was wonderful but not tragic.
I Know right I Get so Sick of Opportunist Creator's Bunking us with CLICK BAIT !!! Love Everything Donald O'Connor Ever Did RIP Dear Donald

I think it is AI, did you not hear singing was pronounced as Singe-ing in the rain. 16.30.
@@pelicanvibe no guess i missed it ! Well if it was Ai it was better than most vids out there:)
Why is Gene Kelly shown so many times, while talking about Donald?
He a good tap dancer just bad as Gene Kelly
