Gene Kelly Colection (1 Viewer)

[Alex Morrow]

Finally, I'm a happy man. Warner Bros is releasing on 9/24 the Gene Kelly Collection on dvd for $59.98. The set contains:
Singin' In The Rain: 50th Anniversary
An American In Paris
On The Town
Gene Kelly: Anatomy Of A Dancer

Now if they just jump on the Judy Garland Collection...

the Gene Kelly: Anatomy Of A Dancer DVD will be availible sparately for $24.98.

I don't know much about that disc except that it's 87 mins long. I wonder if it'll have all that the Laserdisc had as extras..

 

[Jeff Wilson]

Anatomy of a Dancer is a documentary in the American Masters series that runs on PBS. It was pretty well done, from what I saw.

 

[David Brashear]

I thought a Special Edition of An American in Paris was on the way. What about Brigadoon and It's Always Fair Weather from the laserdisc box set?

 

[Tom B. Stones]

Wonderful news!

I thought a Special Edition of An American in Paris was on the way.

I also had that impression, which I believe I picked up here. Anyone heard any more about it?
And I too would love to see "Brigadoon" redone and "It's Always Fair Weather" emerge. Anything, in fact, with the glorious Cyd Charisse...

What? No Xanadu?

 

[Jefferson]

Brilliant!
And if they do the Judy box, as well someday, we'll get
The Pirate and maybe Summer Stock, for even more of Mr. Kelly.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

I second the motion for a Judy box set!

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Would love to see a nice new 16x9 transfer for Brigadoon as well.

 

[Jorge Montes]

Well, here's that PBS documentary I wanted.

 

[PaulaJ]

Re a special edition of An American in Paris -- it was discussed but was never on the schedule, and still isn't.

Oh well...
