Great movie but Donald O'Connors talent comes dangerously close to overshadowing Gene Kellys.
A much underrated state performer of his time that was relegated to support roles with the exception of his "Francis" series of movies.
That aside, pretty amazing when you think Gene & Donald's dance skits were generally filmed in one take with one camera, before resetting the stage then going again from a different angle. I can't think of many performers nowadays that could better, or even match their entertainment abilities.
