Yeah, I love Charisse's sheer physical power in this movie. She commented on Kelly's physical strength as well. There's something of the athlete in him.
That's one of the reasons he was always my favorite. There's no question that Fred Astaire was powerful and brilliant, but he was always a little effete for me. Kelly was my guy.
Don't know if you were ever much into figure skating, but Elvis Stojko always reminded me physically of Kelly, which made him one of my favorite figure skaters ever.
