  1. Gene is more acrobatic while Fred is the definite image of dance on film like Chaplin is for comedy.
    Fred has style and grace in a greater body of work mentioned by Wikipedia. He and Hermes Pan has a great imagination .Fred brought an elegance to his partners. Who could forget the incredible Ginger?
    Gene did also ,like An American in Paris and Singin’ in the Rain. Watch That ‘ s Entertainment! for Gene and Fred.
    There is much more that I could say.
    Russ Tamblynn and Tommy Rall could have equalled the acrobatic dancing but the Nicholas Brothers were the tops.
    The Sound of Music is the best musical because every musical scene is iconic while Singin” in the Rain is not.
    Etc.
    Etc.
    Etc.
