» Feature Writer Dominic von Riedemann - The rise and fall of Gene Kelly


How come you didn't mention 1952's Singing in the Rain, his most famous musical? The AFI even called it the greatest musical ever made.

In response to The rise and fall of Gene Kelly posted by Stratburst:


Thanks for writing!

I omitted "Singin' In The Rain" because so much has already been written about it. I was trying to steer readers toward the more obscure works of Kelly's cannon.

I expect I'll get even more e-mails of puzzlement when I highlight Christmas films and, for the same reasons, bypass "It's A Wonderful Life."
