...Destined to be a video-store perennial, Robert Trachtenberg?s 85-min. bio-doc, narrated by Stanley Tucci, does a nice job of Gene-splicing: inter-cutting Kelly movie clips with comments from an unusually wide range of friends and savants. The friends (wife Betsy Blair, daughter Kerry, director Stanley Donen, actress Debbie Reynolds) are neither fawning nor vengeful.
