Star and director Gene Kelly’s celebration of dance uses ballet and some of the most acclaimed dancers in the world to tell three stories of love. In “Circus” The Clown (Gene Kelly) pines for the affections of a young maiden (Claire Sombert), but is tragically thwarted by a dashing tightrope walker (Igor Youskevitch). In “Ring Around the Rosy” several romances are told as a bracelet is passed from lover to lover, in a ballet that features legendary Russian dancer Tamara Toumanova and Kelly as a Marine. Finally, Sinbad the Sailor (Gene Kelly) and his Genie (David Kasday) embark on an adventure that has them crossing paths with the enticing Scheherazade (Carol Haney).
