Topic: Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly Posted: February 21 2014 at 10:20
Just saw a Fred Astaire movie where he has this travelling band and he auditions his group with a piece where they all wear gloves like piano keys. They hold out their hands while one guy pretends to play them is the corresponding band member sings. It was brilliant. I however do not know which movie nor am I able to find a clip.

Astaire; everything looks so simple when he does it, and he has the more original ideas. when he dances with a coat rack it appears to be alive! but Kelly is no doubt excellent too
this is the only time they ever appeared together. Kelly is the more athletic one, Astaire the more elegant one. keep in mind that Astaire is 13 years older than Kelly; he is 47 in this video!
