Gene Kelly pioneered a style of dancing that was muscular and dynamic, yet always deceptively casual. The pinnacle of his career was Singin' in the Rain in 1952, which established him as one of the screen's most enduring icons. This biography assesses Kelly's films and his worldwide appeal.

Kelly took dancing out of the ballrooms and boudoirs of the 1930s and set it alive on the streets of downtown Manhattan: as befitted the original Pal Joey, he brought a gritty kind of realism to what had always been a fantasy, and above all he liberated dance and dancers on screen at just the postwar moment when the American cinema itself was first coming to grips with the new filmgoers.
He was also of course an actor, choreographer and director, but it is as the first modern screen dancer that Kelly, the boy from the Irish streets of Pittsburgh, will always be remembered. In this lavishly illustrated critical celebration, the critics and biographers Sheridan Morley and Ruth Leon look back at a remarkable and influential career on both sides of the camera.
