Ойын-сауық
In this Gene Kelly TV Special, Donald O'Connor performs a version of his famous "Make 'em Laugh" dance number from 1952's "Singin' in the Rain". The only thing is, it's a different song! (This time called, "Smile, Darn You, Smile"). Also featured is Hal Smith (later "Otis the drunk" from The Andy Griffith Show). First broadcast November 21, 1959.

I wish this guy was still around. I loved watching him dance and perform.
Superb! I never tire of watching this man dance.
There'll only be one Donald O'Connor. Pure entertaining genius!
Truly amazing talent and energy. Donald was in the same class of awesome talent as Fred and Gene. their equal in both song and dance.

The very amazing and super-talent Donald O'Connor. totally lovable.
wow - what an entertainer 🥰 this man
The best part of these old programs is the fact that no obscenities are used. It's nice not to listen to vulgarity for the purpose of vulgarity.
Donald O'Connor... maravilloso!!
Love this guy. What an awesome talent.
I loved his " Sile darnya" in Singing in Rain...he put most all the components in the routine but made it different which was very enjoying to watch. Talent !to boot.....er...I mean .tap shoes!!! 🎶❣🕺
This actually made me smile! 😁
Incredible talent !
He was born in 1925, so he would have been 43 or 44 here - yet he could still do a cartwheel and a pratfall with that amazing agility. Remarkable.
Amazing man
ha this is great!!!
Awesome!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!

Bravissimo ballerino comico e divertente simpatico.
2:23 Donald O’Connor’s choreography from 1952’s Singin’ in the Rain musical dance number Make ‘Em Laugh was rewritten into this 1959 TV version, with a new different song called “Smile, Darn You, Smile”.
Have all of these color NBC Spectaculars been restored and released? I hope so. This was real TV. And it was very early color TV.

Me: Excuse me sir we're closed you have to leave. Donald O' Connor: Now what Me: Can we have some music please?

"Tonight's not a night to be sad! Tonight is a night to be gay!"
Ok, so he didn't do the kick up or the flip wall trick ... but still great for TV!
and this without all the takes needed for the film version.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit got me here...does anyone else remember this song at the end of the movie?

That was a funny movie but definitely an adult cartoon. I love Jessica's line "I'm not bad I'm just drawn that way" LOL

I was honored in meeting and dance a small dance on stage with him. He was at a fundraiser my mother had taken me to. I didn't make a big thing of it at the time I was only 12 years old and didn't know who he was at the time. If I would've known I probably would've been so excited but I still feel blessed I got to meet and dance with him. I wish I had a video of it but it was before the small recording devices. RIP Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly who was in the beginning of this video.
