Movie Reviews
One of the greatest performers of all time!

"This is a superb collection of films by that great master of the dance; Gene Kelly. Words can't express how enjoyable these three musicals are! The documentary is a tasteful, insightful, entertaining, and informative study of the man and his career. Don't underestimate the power of a quintessential performer in a classic musical. What a glorious combination!"
It could be better

"The sound track for "On The Town" didn't work at all. The sound track for the other two was very uneven. Too loud, then too soft. Apparently it was still at theater levels. That should be easily repaired.
These wonderful movies are worth a re-do."
Gene Kelly Collection

"For all Gene Kelly lovers, this is a great collection to watch and own. He is one of the two masters of the dance/musical genre (Fred Astaire being the other). The dance sequence in "Singing in the Rain" gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Also the documentary On the Town/Anatomy of a Dancer was very interesting. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

I Love Gene Kelly!

"I grew up with Gene Kelly performances and so this box set is wonderful. "Singin' on the Rain" is one of his classics, as well as one of his best performances. "On the Town" and "An American in Paris" are suberb too, highlighting Kelly's different strengths. I especially liked "Anatomy of a Dancer" though because it shed light on Kelly's life that I did not know. As such I grew to respect him and his work even more. I highly recommend it for Gene Kelly followers and musical lovers alike!"
