Invitation to the Dance, the 1956 Gene Kelly multi-part animated animation cartoon live-action clown circus romantic fantasy dancing musical ("Exciting women enact life's drama, it's loves, it's laughter, it's beauty!"; this is a movie where three entirely different stories are told only through dance and mime; words are not used and the style of dancing is different for each part, which were titled "Circus", "Ring around the Rosey" and "Sinbad the Sailor") starring Gene Kelly (who appeared in all three parts of this film), Tamara Toumanova, Igor Youskevitch, Belita, Diana Adams, and Claire Sombert (a ballet dancer who only appeared in this movie and one other). Note that this film was completed in 1952 but MGM had serious doubts about it commercial viability, and it was not released until 1956, when their doubts were quickly confirmed.
