I Like Myself - Gene Kelly

from the film It's Always Fair Weather



The incomparable artistry of Gene Kelly, here doing a virtuoso turn on roller skates.

Was there ever anyone as athletically graceful, as nonchalantly balletic, as artistically, quintessentially American as Gene Kelly? He revolutionized dance with his joyful, sexy, muscular style. Many famous dancers, of all artistic persuasions, have cited him as a major influence.

Growing up in a dance family, I idolized him as a kid. He combined masculinity with grace in such a way that the two seemed absolutely natural together, and I think I've always been a bit disappointed that it just doesn't seem to work that way in real life. There never was and never has been anyone else like him.
