In Awe of Gene Kelly

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

I just have to say that I recently learned that when Gene Kelly shot the scene of him Singing in the Rain he had a 103 degree fever. And yet still you can't tell. I have to tell you that if I was that sick I would have tried to do it some other time. The fact that he did feeling that bad and did it that well makes me in awe of him. I have more respect of him and like him even more. Now that is true talent for him to be able to do that. I know that he was a perfectionist but even then people know what they can and can't do. I think that it's great that he fought through the fever and the skriking clothes and he did a wonderful job. And the end result is a wondersful and icon scene and movie.
