LOL! Figures you'd bring up Oscar Levant. One of my favorite parts of the film as well. Oscar Levant not doing a lick of acting. I'd first heard about him from "Harpo Speaks"...and Harpo had him down pat!

I love Gene Kelly as well. I'm not a fan of this movie, though. Give me "Singin' in the Rain" EVERYday!!!
