Last weeks episode: George is dancing and singing down the street. He is pure joy. He swings around a lamppost. Dances in the street.

Is this a tribute to Gene Kelly (of blessed memory) and Singing in the Rain??

Of course, maybe Elaine is just dreamin'

I thought that it was a parody of the joyful dance in the NYC theater district from the Producers done by Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder in regard to the tax writeoff flop play that they wrote.

you mean Spring time for Hilter??

No not Springtime for Hitler. I can't remember the context since it's been 15 yrs. since I saw the movie but Wilder and Mostel did a gleeful outdoor romp sometime early on in The Producers.

Wasn't this episode a rerun before Gene Kelly's Death?? It was definitely a tribute but not after his death.
