Gene Kelly, if just for the goofy smile on his face when he danced.

And the way he modified his dance style when dancing with, for instance, Donald O'Connor, in Singing in the Rain.

I don't believe Kelly and Astaire ever danced together on film, however.

I seem to remember, but I can't find a verification, that there was a mention when That's Entertainment came out, that it was the first time they had appeared in the same film.

And now that I look, it seems that they do dance together in That's Entertainment part II. I'll have to take a look tonight when I get home.

Do they actually dance together? Or is it clips of them interspliced?

I don't remember. I have this image in my head of the two of them dancing though. They are separate in the first film, but I think that the second has them together some of the time.

I don't know if they danced together in those films, but they did dance together:

You are one of two folks who posted this. I knew I remembered something.

I looked on You Tube and there is a dance there from TE2 ...
