Gene Kelly was the man who dragged Hollywood musicals into the second half of the twentieth century. If the first was represented by Fred and Ginger in top hat, white tie and tails, then the second was Gene splashing through the puddles of Singin' in the Rain. Kelly took dancing out of the ballrooms and boudoirs of the 1930s and set it alive on the streets of downtown Manhattan: as befitted the original Pal Joey, he brought a gritty kind of realism to what had always been a fantasy, and above all he liberated dance and dancers on screen at just the postwar moment when the American cinema itself was first coming to grips with the new filmgoers. He was also of course an actor, choreographer and director, but it is as the first modern screen dancer that Kelly, the boy from the Irish streets of Pittsburgh, will always be remembered. In this lavishly illustrated critical celebration, the critics and biographers Sheridan Morley and Ruth Leon look back at a remarkable and influential career on both sides of the camera.

This volume forms part of the "Life and Times" series of compact and accessible biographies which cover key political, literary and musical figures. This title is about the life and work of American composer George Gershwin (1898-1937). Gershwin was the brige between serious music and light entertainment, the creator of "Rhapsody in Blue", "Porgy and Bess" and "An American in Paris". The book evokes the pace and colour of New York in the 1920s and 1930s and places Gershwin at the centre of the Jazz Age. His rise from a talented son of Russian-Jewish immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side to his unassailable position as the leading composer of his time makes Gershwin the embodiment of the American dream.

This biography evokes brilliantly the pace and colour of New York in the 1920s and 30s, and firmly places Gershwin at the centre of the Jazz Age. His rise as one of the sons of Russian-Jewish immigrants on Manhattan's lower East Side to his unassailable position as the leading composer of his time makes Gershwin the embodiment of the American Dream.
