Kelly was running a 103 deg fever when he filmed that title number.

Sure doesn’t show, does it. Guess that’s what a professional does.

Yep, if it looks hard, you're doing wrong. During that golden age of movie musicals, actors were practically killing themselves to put out screen gems.
After completing the over-the-top 'Make 'Em Laugh' number in SITR. Donald O'Connor had to be plugged into an IV and hospitalized for days for exhaustion & injuries. It also didn't help that he was chainsmoking 3-4 packs/day.
Kelly, O'Connor, & Debbie Reynolds filmed 'Good Morning' over & over again for 15 consecutive hours. They finally called it a day when Reynolds' feet were bleeding so badly, she couldn't stand anymore and had to be carried off the set.

Great movie and he was an amazing talent....singer, actor, dancer and choreographer. He was great in Brigadoon with Van Johnson too.

Song is ruined for me. Stanley did me in with young Alex singing that song while doing the ultra violence.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Marvelous, deceptively simple in appearance (oh so not simple in reality!), elegant, iconic and totally enjoyable to watch! Makes me smile inside every time I watch it!
This was made 68 years ago; alas, I worry that our society is slowly losing appreciation for this wonderful art.

I understand that Gene Kelly absolutely hated the fact that many find men dancing effeminate.
