Working from new research and interviews with people who knew and worked closely with the celebrated dancer, choreographer, and director, author Alvin Yudkoff draws a portrait of an awe-inspiring yet flawed artist who was dedicated to his craft, innovative and exacting, and also fiercely competitive and controlling.".

Here is a book for every lover of dance, fan of the classic Hollywood musicals, and admirer of the phenomenon that was Gene Kelly."--BOOK JACKET.
