Singin' In The Rain
What a glorious feeling! Gene Kelly's umbrella-swinging "splash" hit is an ode to joy and to the bumpy era when silent movies became talkies. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds star in this restored version of one of Hollywood's best-loved musicals. Filled with memorable songs, lavish routines and Kelly's fabulous song and dance number performed in the rain.
Musician Don Lockwood (Kelly) rises to stardom during Hollywood's silent-movie era - paired with the beautiful, jealous and dumb Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). When Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden (Reynolds), Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, audiences laugh when they hear Lockwood speak for the first time - and the studio uses Selden to dub her voice.
An American In Paris
Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron sing and dance to the music of George and Ira Gershwin in this winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
When ex-GI Jerry Mulligan (Kelly) remains in Paris to pursue life as an artist, he is discovered by a wealthy patroness interested in more than his art. But Mulligan falls in love with a French shop girl (Caron) who is engaged to his best friend.
Anchors Aweigh
Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Jerry the Mouse star in this charming musical mix of live action and animation.
Two sailors (Sinatra and Kelly) in Hollywood looking for glamorous movie starlets find romance, dance with a cartoon mouse and help a young starlet get discovered - all during one shore leave.
On The Town
Three sailors - Gabey (Gene Kelly), Chip (Frank Sinatra) and Ozzie (Jules Munshin) - are let loose in New York City on 24 hour leave. On a subway, Gabey sees a poster of "Miss Turnstiles of the Month" - a woman named Ivy Smith (Vera-Ellen). Thinking she's a high society girl, the trio spend the day looking for her. Along the way they run into a cab driver, Hilde (Betty Garrett), who is attracted to Chip, and a gorgeous anthropologist named Claire (Ann Miller).
Song highlights: "New York, New York", "A Day In New York," "Main Street," "Prehistoric Man", "You're Awful", "I'm Feeling Like I'm Not Out Of Bed", "Come Up To My Place" and "Count On Me".
The Three Musketeers
To the cry of "all for one and one for all" comes a version of the Alexandre Dumas classic that's fun for all - a rousing, swashbuckling adaptation that was Gene Kelly's favorite among his non-musical movies. Kelly plays country lad D'Artagnan, who comes to Paris with heady ambition and duels his way into the ranks of King Louis XIII's musketeers. He swashes-and-buckles with brio, bringing to action scenes of the virile athleticism that set him apart as a dancer in movie musicals. A top cast - Vincent Price as unctuous Cardinal Richelieu, Lana Turner as villainous Lady de Winter, June Allyson as Constance and Angela Lansbury as Queen Anne - joins Kelly in this exuberant tale, filmed in luscious Technicolor.

The sublime Gene Kelly x5. Four of the best musicals ever made, and a rip-roaring adventure with Gene doing almost all his own stunts, ensure that this box set is worth its weight in gold.
The five movies demonstrate beautifully Gene's unique versatility, as actor, choreographer, singer, director, and of course as divine dancer.
If you need a lift in spirits, if you need an antidote to the miseries of life and modern 'entertainment', this is the set for you. But be warned, he can be addictive!
This set is a great way to get an overview of the fabulous talent and skill of the immortal Gene Kelly. Buy it! At this price it is a real bargain.
Gene Kelly = LEGEND
