Gene Kelly dances on roller skates.

20. Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen that before. The OP spurred me to look up...

whether Astaire and Kelly liked each other but I could've find anything. I did find though that Astaire and Rogers both just tolerated each other.

Astaire was kinder about it. He just didn't want to be a team, and was once quoted as saying: "Ginger always wants to be the boss."

She was once being interview about their Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers pairings in movies and she corrected the reporter by saying something to the effect that it should be "Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire..."

That was a little disappointing to me as I always thought they got along well.

I couldn't find anything about whether Kelly and Astaire liked and respected each other's work though.

Their styles were such a contrast — Astaire with the graceful, classical lines and Kelly with the supreme physicality and athleticism. I leaned towards Astaire as my favorite for years but have come to realize they were equals.
