\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to legendary song-and-dance men, there was no one better than Gene Kelly<\/a>. Even though its been more than 20 years since he passed, Kelly’s filmography continues to cast a long shadow in Hollywood. The reason for this is simple, he could do it all — sing, dance, act, choreograph, you name it. His films are full of light-hearted fun and unforgettable songs, and thanks to a new collection audiences can relive some of Kelly’s most memorable performances.<\/p>\n

The Silver Screen Icons: Gene Kelly<\/a><\/em> includes the following classics, certain to charm old and new fans alike:<\/p>\n

Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra<\/a> (in their first film together) star in this musical comedy as a pair of sailors on a four-day leave in Hollywood, California. After entertaining a young boy (Dean Stockwell<\/a>) who wants to join the Navy, the shy Clarence (Sinatra) becomes smitten with the boy’s aunt (Kathryn Grayson<\/a>), and Joe (Kelly) sings and dances with cartoon mouse, Jerry. Pamela Britton<\/a> co-stars. Songs include the title tune, “I Fall in Love Too Easily,” “We Hate to Leave,” and more.<\/p>\n

On The Town<\/em> (1949)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An American In Paris<\/em> (1951)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The dancing of Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron<\/a>, a thrilling score by George Gershwin<\/a>, and the romantic settings of Paris make for a timeless musical delight that garnered six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Inspired by Gershwin\u2019s 1928 symphonic tone poem of the same name, the M-G-M classic tells the story of an American expatriate artist who falls in love with a beautiful French girl. Co-stars Oscar Levant<\/a>, Nina Foch<\/a>; directed by Vincente Minnelli<\/a>. Songs include “Embraceable You,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” and “Our Love Is Here to Stay.”<\/p>\n

Brigadoon<\/em> (1954)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While on a hunting trip in Scotland, New Yorkers Tommy Albright (Gene Kelly) and Jeff Douglas (Van Johnson<\/a>) stumble upon the magical village of Brigadoon, which appears for one day every 100 years. And when Tommy falls in love with beautiful enchantress Fiona (Cyd Charisse<\/a>), he must decide if he should stay or return to his humdrum life. With Elaine Stewart<\/a>, Barry Jones<\/a>. The classic Lerner and Loewe score includes “From This Day On,” “I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean,” “The Heather on the Hill.”<\/p>\n
