For Patricia Kelly, the widow, image trustee and biographer of screen dancer Gene Kelly,...

While it’s true that Gene Kelly left his mark on musicals on both sides of the Atlantic (Singin' in the Rain, An American Paris and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort), this collection of photographs proves that his wardrobe contained the very best of smooth 1950s style. Take this opportunity to uncover some rare pictures showcasing his timeless style.

From 'Midnight in Paris' to 'Paris, Je T'aime.'

Leslie Caron reading between dances in An American in Paris (1951). The plot may be problematic, but such concerns are rendered superfluous by Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron's star power, the Gershwins'...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcD-e05HJ8 This dance sequence in An American in Paris, starring Gene Kelly, uses different coloured backgrounds to show the different parts of the character's personality. In each dance the background is full of real props and furniture and everything is painted in shades of one colour. This makes the space look almost flat and unreal, like a stage set. I would like a similar look for our animation, referencing the very flat 50s design.
