MGM had a total of 7 New York City street sets. This is either the Fifth Ave. or Park Ave. set (they also had Brownstone Street, Eastside Street, Warehouse Alley, Church Street and Cullem Street.)
@tree-jj4kc I guess I should have stated that I miss the elegance and wisdom that the former adults exhibited. But I didn't think my comment would get picked apart.
Maybe? The family is hooked on The Newly Wed Game The Price is Right 80s Match Game Clean House Taxi Lavern and Shirley Anyway thanks for Gable and Crawford 👏
Sadly there's a history of a number of very talented artists being total abusive jerks. Benny Goodman, arguably the greatest jazz clarinetist, was a tyrant (as was Buddy Rich). Apparently Reynolds got the worst treatment, in part because she had never danced before. Of course, it should be stated that Kelly was miserable to almost all the other actors and dancers on Singing in the Rain. From what I understand, Fred Astaire was a much kinder person to work with.
@mercuryfever392 Sie tun sich selbst keinen Gefallen jemanden, hier Gene Kelly, einen Idioten zu nennen. Sie wissen doch gar nicht warum Debbie Reynolds als 19 jährige und dazu noch ohne Tanzerfahrung eingesetzt wurde. Gene Kelly war darauf vorbereitet Leslie Caron oder Cyd Charisse zu bekommen, aber beide waren anderweitig tätig. So musste er nicht nur sich selbst beschäftigen, sondern auch noch Reynolds anlernen. Das gefiel einem solch grandiosen Tänzer überhaupt nicht. Donald O`Connor sprang manchmal ein und Kellys jahrelanger Freund Fred Astaire gab Bebbie gute Ratschläge. Später, als Debbie älter war und sich mit eisernen Willen zum Superstar mauserte bedankte sie sich bei Gene Kelly und sie wurden lebenslange Freunde. Hiermit eine kurze Schilderung über einen IDIOTEN.
This is an off comment. Why haven't TCM played Damn Yankees. Since, it is a Warner Brothers film, it should be easy to acquire. Whatever Lola Wants is a musical classic.
The embodiment of charm - practically all the participants in the filming had smiles of joy on their faces for this performance. Sadly, this film was the prelude to the finale of the golden age of the MGM musical, which by this time was thankfully, at least, relishing in CinemaScope and the added wonder of multi-directional stereophonic sound!
Kelly hated CinemaScope - he thought it really didn't serve dancing on the movie screen. The film also ended the friendship of Kelly and Stanley Donen, who co-directed the film with him - the two had too many creative differences.
@moondra3481 Musicals sehe ich mir auch ganz gern an, aber es kommt bei mir auf die Darsteller an. Gene Kelly war mein Augenstern. Ich liebte seine dunklen braunen Kulleraugen und sein Lächeln was umwerfend war. Dieses Lächeln konnte die Sonne aufgehen lassen oder, wie Sie schon sagten, er konnte einem zum Schmelzen bringen.
Good ole fashioned movie racism - this is a studio that had Mickey Rooney do a blackface number. In Dumbo the crows are extremely racist stereotypes. Meet Me in St. Louis had Judy Garland do a very bad Asian impression for Under the Yum Yum Tree. The reality is that most movies (outside of Flower Drum Song) were very racist towards Asians
This is like a wave of calming relief from current world insaninty.
Isn't it just. ❤
I can barely stand on skates let alone tap dance flawlessly. Gene Kelly is the best!
Gene Kelly is my all time favorite musical actor. No one danced like him. Loved his movies with Frank Sinatra too
Pure joy.
How on Earth did he do that?!! I would fall on my face so many times if so tried! Fantastic dance number! Old fashioned strap on skates look so cool!
My favorite routine of Gene Kelly! He makes it look so easy.
God, I miss my Dad
Without him I would not know love
The athleticism and total control Kelly has while on roller skates, even tap dancing with them on, is absolutely legendary.
I was thinking the same thing. He was marvelous!
My old Hollywood crush ❤
what a graceful guy
My favorite gene Kelly number
Is that a set? I'm guessing it's not just a regular street corner. It's a magical setting with the wide sidewalks

I miss the world when it was full of grown ups

I don't understand why he felt he had to be so rude to Debbie Reynolds when they were filming Singin in the Rain. What a jerk.

The film was released over 75 years ago, and both Reynolds and Kelly are dead. Maybe it's time to let it go.
@@TheRealLaughingGravy Dead or not, people's reputations live on long after they're gone.
I just love the way he dances 🎉
What a shame I can’t watch TCM because they are in a stranglehold by the cable and media companies. Year in, year out this never changes.
Tcm is the greatest

I dream on a sidewalk like these 😂😂😂❤ unforgetable Gene ❤❤
I'm fan of Fred Astaire. But, man, this rollerskate-number is great!
Thanks, Warner Brothers, for ruining TCM. The films have changed so drastically that it does not even appear to be the same channel at all.
I am not a big fan of musicals..however this one I enjoy immensely 💞. Kelly had a smile that could melt me into a puddle

3:04 casual racism? What's with the stylised oriental music and his comical movements?
