That's the spirit!! Gene worked so hard to be the perfection he displayed. When you see him dancing so fine, easy and breezy you have no idea how lazy- was he not, how busy he became in every sequence he played. Many kuddos for the one and only Gene Kelly! I'm so glad I met Olivia who made me only one degree of separation from him, thanks to Xanadu.
I can never get enough of Gene Kelly! I love this movie. No one else could dance like him. He brought so much sincerity and joy to every film he was in. I started tap dancing to be like him. I strive to be as amazing as he is.❤️❤️
Gene Kelly is such a great dancer like Fred Astaire who inspires all sorts of young artists in showbiz business develop their talent and voices will never be silenced by anyone else
Great video from Summer Stock. The one only Gene Kelly! My favourite performer of all time. Miss you Mr. Kelly you were and are the very best. What a gorgeous and handsome guy. With a megawatt smile! ,😁😁😁
GENE KELLY AND FRED ASTIRE WERE TWO GREAT ACTORS IN THE 70S AND 80s IN THERE MOVIES OF ALL TIMES SINGING IN THE RAIN OTHER MOVIES WERE SO INSPRING FOR ALL AMERCIANS TO BE CHEERPED DURING HARD TIMES WHEN THE WORLD WAS IN CHAOS AND PERIL THERE WAS ALWAYS ENTERMAIMENT FOR ALL TO ENJOY IN THOSE ERAS OF THE FLIM AND MOVIE INDUSTRY
Plus Phil Silvers and Gene Kelly used the strength of their friendship with Judy Garland to support her throughout this movie at a very very tough time in her life. I believe this was her last movie with MGM. Getting by with the help of your friends!
The line at 1:42 reminds me of Phil Silvers' "Who's Complaining" number in Cover Girl (1944), one of my favorite movies of all time. I didn't know these two did another movie together! 😍😊
A lot of Judy Garland's friends were pulled into this production to help her cope with the stress. She was going through a very rough time and everyone, especially Gene and Phil, wanted things to go as smoothly as possible for her.
In fact Jeanne was one of Gene's pupils when he taught dance in his own school of dance in Pittsburgh, she was a kid and he, a young man. Then, he left Pittsburgh and his school to Broadway then to Hollywood. Jeanne joined him and she became his assistant. She married Gene's collaborator Stanley Donen but as told Gene's then wife, Betsy Blair, it was a little "incestuous" because Jeanne was in love with Gene, Stanley had a crush on Betsy... So at the end, Jeanne and Stanley divorced, Betsy and Gene divorced, and Jeanne and Gene married...
Progressive? You mean communist? Actually he was just another dumb actor (useful idiot as communist's call them), who was suckered into the movement. He was for unions in showbiz, but was destroyed by the leftist cult for having a heart.
I was lucky to meet Mr. Carpenter when he came to speak at a special screening of 'Two Weeks with Love' in 1990. A very nice man. Wish I could have seen him as Cornelius Hackl. R.I.P., Carleton.
This is the generation that survived the Great Depression and World War Two, so this message about hard work was crucial mythology. He saved his own family from the great depression by performing with his brother Fred and building a family dance studio as a very young man. But Gene Kelly was very politically progressive, so he was also clear eyed about a variety of issues that created inequities that hard work alone could not conquer. No, the 1930s, 40s and 50s were not just the good old days, and Gene Kelly was more than honest about that whenever he had the opportunity to share his opinions. Not that MGM wanted to hear that, but ...
Who is the actress wearing glasses in Summer Stock? She's usually shown reading a book. She dances with Gene during the Dig Dig Dig number. (At 2:04 in the above clip.)
She's Nita Beiber, a dancer and actress. I think most of her part ended up on the cutting room floor because she's in the opening credits as "Sarah", but we never hear her speak
"Take me out to the ballgame" is not a great movie, but very cute. I see it as wish fulfillment for Gene Kelly's desire to be a baseball player. The name of the team, the Wolves, was the name of his little league team.
This movie went through a lot of delays in production, rewrites, etc. It often seems like that dancer once had a larger part, maybe her character had lines, because she does show up in the barn dance too. Some actors actually had to leave before the movie was done because they had other commitments. So I think characters were expanded, added, subtracted a few times. I wish we had more of that performer, she seems awesome!
Que bello cine y a la vez raro y lejano, ya que no solían aparecer negros en sus grupos, solo descendientes directos de ingleses, italianos, irlandeses y centroeuropeos.
the real woman only existed in 1960 and she never danced with Genes but always in the background. Her name was Jeanne Coyne and she was Genes Assistent Choeorapher. After 13 years of marriage she death on Leukemia. This Movie is from 1950 and his real wife was Actress Betsy Blair.
I was only a child, i ever think if i like a girl, i could only dancing and singing, but it not work. now 1'am 54 and alone. Ups, i forget dancing, sorry.
@@Imani_AM The lazy ones are the city kids and "budding actors" who want to use the barn for summer stock, and eat the food, but don't want to do the farming chores.
@@sydneyhorne745 I don't hear any "black lingo." What is this PC nonsense? Phil Silvers seems to be using a "southern" inflection. If you think that's "racist," then the problem is with YOU.
Can you elaborate? I'm far from an expert on 1950s US culture but I see nothing racially charged in this video at all and from what I've read, Kelly was progressive in his time. He publicly severed his ties with the Catholic church for not helping the poor in Mexico enough... Is it possible you're applying a rigid filter to a context you don't understand?
The movie is released in 1949, so television is barely available and definitely would not have been available on a struggling farm. But revival style preachers would have been a known concept for both white and black small towns, rural communities, in the South, the Midwest, etc. Maybe seeing the song isolated from the plot of the movie is creating the confusion? This movie is about a single woman who is trying to hold on to her family farm. Her younger sister left for NYC to become an actress, then returns with a "summer stock" group that plans to use the barn. It's not clear that they planned to pay rent for the barn. So there are lots of themes of responsibility and hard work running alongside the dancing and singing. It's about city kids colliding with farming chores. Do you really show up at your sister's barn without warning? Why did you leave your sister alone with all that farm work to begin with? Where do the animals live while you rehearse your show? So the song grows out of that. If we're going to make this work, poor starving actors are going to have to help a starving farmer in a very real sweaty way. I think it's more about scolding city kids about wanting fame without the work that might generate fame. I don't think it has anything to do with calling black people lazy. But maybe I'm missing something. Lots of white southern actors had very thick accents, and not because they were wealthy enough to have black nannies. If you find any reruns of the Andy Griffith show, you will hear a thick southern accent from an actor born and raised in North Carolina. Hope that provides some context?
susan lloyd but the way they were saying the words were like they were doing the stereotype of black people in those days and in the movie they weren’t in the south so......
This man is a musical film legend.
Still Abit underrated because of Fred Astaire legend
So handsome and talented. My favourite leading man always.
I love how they’re dressed!
I do too
That's pretty dressy by todays standards. :-)

Gene Kelly was and is my favorite dancer. I always like to see him very much and that will always remain so.
Old age must come very hard to people who have lived magical lives.

You make a very interesting observation.
I can never get enough of Gene Kelly! I love this movie. No one else could dance like him. He brought so much sincerity and joy to every film he was in. I started tap dancing to be like him. I strive to be as amazing as he is.❤️❤️
What a Musical EVER! AND what an orchestra in the 50'S!!!! BRAVO!
2:54 that dentist line always getd me.
And the way he yelled WHAT!? 😁😂😂🤣
Best dancer of movies !!!!
Gene was so fine.
Yes he was! I love watching his movies 😘
@Flenif2247 huuuuuuuuh
Gene Kelly is such a great dancer like Fred Astaire who inspires all sorts of young artists in showbiz business develop their talent and voices will never be silenced by anyone else
I Love Gene Kelly
I Love Gene Kelly
I Love His Dancing
I Love Fred Astaire's Dancing Too
And Danny Kaye's Dancing
Pure joy to watch these dances and songs
Gene Kelly is such a great actor and dancer wonderful song choice
Great video from Summer Stock.
The one only Gene Kelly!
My favourite performer of all time.
Miss you Mr. Kelly you were and are the very best.
What a gorgeous and handsome guy.
With a megawatt smile! ,😁😁😁

I never want this number to end
What a music ! Gene you are amazing ! You makes me smole and happy! Rest on peace
The warner archive is a kind of time machine
Thanks for videos
As if I'm dancing with them
One and only Gene Kelly 👑 The King 👍🏼
This man is such a great actor
Of all time
Gene Kelly and Phil Silvers are great actors in Summer Stock
Plus Phil Silvers and Gene Kelly used the strength of their friendship with Judy Garland to support her throughout this movie at a very very tough time in her life. I believe this was her last movie with MGM. Getting by with the help of your friends!
Judy Garland is great in Summer Stock as well
That’s very nice for them to do supporting her at a very difficult part of her life
I can just imagine the bloopers for the part at the end when he was dancing on the table.
There wouldn't have been any. Dude could do that all in one take..
Gene Kelly , le meilleur ! Et quel sourire !
An incredible movie ever catched with a 35 millimeters Mitchell camera! BRAVO! Emmanuel from Paris
I love Gene Kelly movies

He made it look so easy!
Best actor!!!
What a great COLOR movie to!!!! BRAVO! Emmanuel
And there was Gene's real life wife wearing the white blouse and blue jeans getting up to dance with him on his left side. :) 2:05
I was wondering why she seemed even more infatuated with him than the others...
That's Jeanne Coyne and she will marry Gene ten years later.
Wow I never knew that! I saw this dance many times!😱
Thank you for sharing that little nostalgic fact It was nice to learn that his own wife was able to be on set with him. 😊
In fact Jeanne was one of Gene's pupils when he taught dance in his own school of dance in Pittsburgh, she was a kid and he, a young man.

A great dancer, actor, performer, and progressive,
Progressive? You mean communist? Actually he was just another dumb actor (useful idiot as communist's call them), who was suckered into the movement. He was for unions in showbiz, but was destroyed by the leftist cult for having a heart.
@@matrixist bro, you need to chill. Artist and art are two different things. I know communist is bad but he is actor who is showing his art.
He had such a unique style of tap dancing!!
This song motivated me to work.
Gene oh my 🙂 ❤ 🌹.
Muito interessante... o sapateado era uma coisa da época mesmo... e, com muito talento!
These part is the best of the movie
I kinda favor 'Heavenly Music'. And Judy's 'Friendly Star'. But this is a great one.
he was so handsome...
gene kelly is so hot
J adore un grand danseur 👏👏
Yes absolutely love the clothes and style nice ❤️☺️
Love the ladies in blue jeans! It seems so “new”!
I used to watch this obsessively lol
Happy 102nd birthday Frances Ethel Gumm aka Judy Garland💗🫶🏻🎉
The GOAT!❤❤❤❤
That's some serious tapping.
2:16. My favorite part. Don't know why it just is
STUPENDO!!
Awesome 👍

Phil Silvers really funny man
I bet nobody knew that Gene Kelly was wearing a hairpiece here and every film he made afterwards.
It's really hard to care. He's gorgeous.

I believe that is his real wife
@@HitchProductionz1837 I think the one with the white shirt to the right of him was actually his wife
I too find this a good question😂
She's Nita Beiber, a dancer and actress. I think most of her part ended up on the cutting room floor because she's in the opening credits as "Sarah", but we never hear her speak
OMG!!!
Love this movie, but if I could cut every Phil SIlvers moment I would.
2:47. "Charge!"
Phil silvers a few years before his most famous role sgt Ernie bilko
And Otto Mayer in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963)!!
How is it that almost nobody mentions Phil Silvers in the comments?
And "A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum"! And after "Cover Girl"!
any word if we'll ever get this on bluray?
It's coming from Warner Archive Collection on April 30th!
Grew up on you, Gene. I think you alsO could have played MLB. LOVE YA.
Well, he did try.
"Take me out to the ballgame" is not a great movie, but very cute. I see it as wish fulfillment for Gene Kelly's desire to be a baseball player. The name of the team, the Wolves, was the name of his little league team.
Did Judy go into town ?
Good question 🤔 because they had aloooooot of extra time in that kitchen to sing and dance
Does anyone know the name of the actress at 01:40?
Who's that gal in the glasses & brown dress!
nita beiber☺️

He did this as favor to Judy
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I guess that Judy was out sick that day.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
2:58 Person stops covering gene’s mouth and gene yells “WAAAAHHHT!?!?!?” Edit: He says “see your dentist twice a year!”
the person is phil silvers, he was very famous!
Loved him in "Cover Girl". Didn't particularly like sgt bilko. Loved "A Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum"
Que bello cine y a la vez raro y lejano, ya que no solían aparecer negros en sus grupos, solo descendientes directos de ingleses, italianos, irlandeses y centroeuropeos.
comparisons are aweful....but Gene K was more versatile than Fred A
😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷
But I don’t even own a shovel...

is anyone is still alive from this movie?
whoever cast the annoying guy didn't know what he was doing.
If you are referring to Phil Silvers- he is a show business legend
Phil silvers is amazing. He’s young here but he knows how to steal a scene.
That guy wanna. . .KNO DA WAY. . .ok kill me now
Iron Siego man I didn’t expect to see this meme here lol
Why is this slightly disturbing
Because of how many years gone by
İs anyone is still alive from this m
Era un fuera de serie.
I was only a child, i ever think if i like a girl, i could only dancing and singing, but it not work. now 1'am 54 and alone. Ups, i forget dancing, sorry.
Wow... the opening is a bit racist
More after that, the words after that. References to laziness and needing dignity. Farm work...smh...
@@Imani_AM where is the racism in this song
@@Imani_AM The lazy ones are the city kids and "budding actors" who want to use the barn for summer stock, and eat the food, but don't want to do the farming chores.
Sorry, I love gene Kelly in all but this is racist.
I noticed that too. The way they're mocking black lingo of that time.
Yep! It is. I'm glad I didn't buy this movie 😥
You people are Nuts! 🙄
Richard Michaels how
@@sydneyhorne745 I don't hear any "black lingo." What is this PC nonsense? Phil Silvers seems to be using a "southern" inflection. If you think that's "racist," then the problem is with YOU.
Kind-of a racially-inappropriate vibe goin' on here.
Glenn Goodfellow I was wondering what was going on...
.... you now southern preachers who weren’t black did that... just saying
More televangelist than anything else.
