Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This biography of Gene Kelly comes from the American Masters series, and even by the high standard of that pedigree, it's an unusually fine portrait. The clips from Kelly's films are superbly chosen (and in sparkling condition), illustrating his low-to-the-ground dancing style and his sky-high choreographic ambitions. "Singin' in the Rain" is here, of course, but so is his lonely, lovely solo with a newspaper in Summer Stock and his double-exposure "Alter Ego" number from Cover Girl. The documentary is not fawning; testimony from collaborators such as Debbie Reynolds and André Previn leaves no doubt about his vanity and his perfectionism. The best of the interviewees is the actress Betsy Blair, Kelly's first wife, whose intelligence and frankness reflect well on him. A running theme is Kelly's masculine, blue-collar image, which allowed audiences to accept sailors and baseball players dancing with balletic precision. It's the precision of genius. --Robert Horton
Description:
The life and career of this film star and innovator whose work includes Singin' in the Rain, On the Town, and An American in Paris are vibrantly recalled in this profile of the driven genius--often narcissistic, always a perfectionist--who reenergized the movie musical and redefined dance on screen. Packed with marvelous clips (including rare footage of Kelly's breakthrough Pal Joey Broadway role) and interviews with family members and Hollywood colleagues, Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer is the definitive look at a magical talent whose story has never been fully told until now. It's a life to be watched, celebrated, enjoyed. 87 minutes.

I enjoyed this documentary very much, great for any fan of Mr. Kelly! But I would suggest purchasing the 2 disc edition of An American in Paris, which has this documentary as a special feature, it is less expensive, and if you like Gene Kelly enough to own this documentary then you should own An American in Paris anyway!

This is a very informative commentary on Gene's life and career. We have enjoyed watching it though we seldom watch it all the way through at a sitting. It is a bit slow paced compared to a Gene Kelly movie. My daughter did a paper on it for college and got a good grade. That was worth it!

When I was a student at UCLA in 1970, Gene Kelly came to give a free lecture to students. There were about 200 people in the room. He came in and gave a wonderful talk about his work and then openned it up for questions. He answered them all, the silly fawning questions and the more serious questions about dancing, movies, being a movie star, his masterworks everything with charm, erudition and consideration. It was impressive that a man of his caliber would come to a free to students lecture. ... Read More

I loved this CD on Gene Kelly. He was one of my favorite dancers when it came to musicals. I loved to watch him dance.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loved musicals.

"Gene Kelly Anatomy of a Dancer" is the DVD edition of an American Masters program narrated by Stanley Tucci.
For those that don't know, Gene Kelly (along with Fred Astaire) was the leading film musical star of the 1940s and 1950's. He is known for the films "An American in Paris" and "Singing in the Rain". In the latter film, Mr. Kelly's single greatest solo performance is dancing to the titled song.
This is a masterfully done retrospective of Mr. Kelly's career as actor, ... Read More
