What a glorious feeling! ☔ Gene Kelly starred in and co-directed SINGIN' IN THE RAIN ('52), and as he did with many of his productions, he elevated the musical genre to new heights. See it on the big screen 4/10 and 4/13. https://myt.cm/BigScreen2022 #TCMBigScreen | Turner Classic Movies: TCM

In 1943, during his early years in Hollywood at MGM, Gene Kelly primarily performed choreography created by the studio's dance director, Robert Alton, in films like DuBarry Was a Lady. However, the "Mop Dance" sequence in Thousands Cheer was a major turning point, as it was the first significant solo number Kelly was allowed to choreograph himself, eventually leading to his creative freedom as a dance director.
