Gene Kelly was a masterful and very disciplined choreographer. It is so apparent in all his dance sequences. When my twin grandsons were as young as one or two years old, I used to play that scene for them and they loved it. Of course, they liked all the song and dance routines, but that was their favorite and they frequently would imitate it with their little umbrellas.
