The live of film and dance legend Gene Kelly is well documented, but never in as intimate and imaginative a fashion as in the performance, “Gene Kelly: The Legacy.”

Weaving film clips, rare outtakes, never before released audio recordings and personal anecdotes, Patricia Ward Kelly (film historian and Kelly’s wife) reveals the personal side of a man few people know except for what they see on screen, and properly places his achievements not just in dance, but in film history in general.
