Gene Kelly - An American in Hollywood (2025)

Overview: Gene Kelly is a legend of the heyday of the Hollywood musical. His name stands for masterpieces such as "Singin' in the Rain" and "An American in Paris". As a singer dancer actor choreographer and director he was a true all-round artist who revolutionized the world of dance in particular. Kelly who loved to experiment explored new forms of dance expression and helped a whole generation of young talents to fame. From his beginnings in cabarets and on Broadway to his recognition as a choreographer and director the documentary shows how the good-looking star with a charming smile expanded the boundaries of dance expression: He danced in the open air in the streets of New York with a cartoon character or his own reflection.
