- Summary
- Gene Kelly pioneered a style of dancing that was muscular and dynamic, yet always deceptively casual. The pinnacle of his career was "Singin' in the Rain" in 1952, which established him as one of the screen's most enduring icons. This biography assesses Kelly's films and his worldwide appeal.
