Christmas Holiday(1944, Universal) | |
|
Gene Kelly (Robert Manette) Deanna Durbin (Abigail Martin) Directed by Robert Siodmak Gene as a charming, psychotic, homosexual murderer? This was Deanna's first grown-up dramatic role as the wife of a charming but dangerous man. An excellent example of film noir, Gene gives a good performance, underplaying the evilness of the character. |
 | Gene Scene rating: 3 stars (out of 4) |

Cover Girl (1944, Columbia) | |
|
Gene Kelly (Danny McGuire) Rita Hayworth (Rusty Parker) Phil Silvers (Genius) Directed by Charles Vidor Gene Kelly's breakthrough musical was NOT with MGM, and Cover Girl was so popular that the studio never loaned him out again. This is the first sign that Gene wasn't the ordinary musical film star--the classic alter ego number in which Gene dances with...Gene! Even in this computer age the number looks amazing. Gene is also great with Rita in "Put Me to the Test" and "Long Ago and Far Away." Phil Silvers is a worthy comic cohort. |

Crest of the Wave(1954, MGM) | |
|
Gene Kelly (Lt. Bradville) John Justin (Lt. Wharton) Directed by John & Roy Boulting Gene gives an okay performance in an undemanding role in this story about the post-war testing of submarine weapons. Possibly of interest to engineering types, the film is disappointing for those who like good storytelling and character development. Based on the British play "Seagulls Over Sorrento." |
