1:30 PM -- That's Entertainment! II (1976)
2h 13m | Documentary | TV-G
Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly dance together again for the first time in more than 30 years in this sequel to That's Entertainment! (1974).
Director: Gene Kelly
Cast: Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Saul Bass

It was Fred Astaire's idea that he and Gene Kelly perform together in a new dance number in the film. Astaire was afraid that if he and Kelly just stood around and talked to each other, the audience would think they were too old to dance any more. As of the date of the film's release in May 1976, Astaire had just attained his 77th year a week earlier, and Kelly was to turn 64 that August.
