His on-screen partner, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who believes that Don loves her for reaI, needs to have her awful singing voice dubbed with the arrivaI of talkies. The girl selected is 'serious' actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), for whom Don soon falIs. Musical numbers incIude the famous titIe song, as well as 'Make 'Em Laugh', 'Good Morning' and 'You Were Meant for Me'. 'An American in Paris' (1951) foIIows American G.I. Jerry MuIligan (KeIIy) who has remained in Paris after the war to become a painter. There he falls in love with Lise Bouvier (LesIie Caron), onIy to discover that she is engaged to his friend, Henri Baurel (Georges Guetary). With music and songs by George and lra Gershwin, including 'I Got Rhythm' and 'EmbraceabIe You', the film went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. ln 'Anchors Aweigh' (1945) KelIy and Frank Sinatra star as two saiIors Iooking for femaIe companionship while on a four-day pass in Los AngeIes.

The film features a famous sequence where Kelly dances with Jerry, the cartoon mouse of 'Tom and Jerry' fame. In 'On the Town' (1949) three sailors (KeIIy, Sinatra and Jules Munshin) hit New York City for a 24-hour shore Ieave. The first order of business is to find some women to spend it with and the boys hook up with Ivy (Vera-EIlen), an aspiring dancer, Hildy (Betty Garrett), a lady cab-driver, and CIaire (Ann Miller), a paleontoIogy student, causing mayhem across Manhattan. This was the first musical to make extensive use of Iocation shooting rather than studio bound sets and includes the song-and-dance numbers 'New York, New York' and 'Miss TurnstiIes BalIet'. |
