So she wants to stay for sonny, but didn't for a young Gene Kelly?!


I don't think so!!

Had I been his muse in 1945, I would have waited in his dressing room every night wearing nothing but a smile.

Check out Anchors Aweigh (1945) to see what I mean.

Apparently she felt sorry for Sonny's acting ability.

LOL. To be fair, Gene Kelly's real-life wife Betsy Blair felt the need to spread her wings and fly, and the man with whom she ended up on his best day looked like Ed Asner.

said the same thing when I watched it recently- Gene Kelly was by far the better catch!

Gene Kelly's character, Danny, didn't go after her when he had the chance, and so he lost her. He even told Sonny not to make the same mistake he did.
