Featured review
Gene Kelly biography. Directed by Bernard Tessier
Really nice. Some biography of his life. How he grew up in Pennsylvania., coped with the depression, decided to move to New York and made it big on Broadway in Pal Joey. Rare film clip of dancing in the show. Got invited to Hollywood. Great clips - too short - from early films.
Lots of information about how innovative he was, how he made dance accessible to more people.
Info about military career. Worked with soldiers who had what we call PTSD now.
Info about a documentary he made in 1959 demonstrating how dance is athletic and athletes do things like dancing. I'd love to see that.
Interviews with 2 of his children, who seem to love him. Great scenes in France where he made his last film. He joked about his bad accent but I thought he did great.
He was my first love as a little girl. I found it very moving.
