Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor for Volkswagen Jetta

by Kelli Marshall

This 2010 commercial relocates a portion of Gene Kelly's and Donald O'Connor's "chair dance" (featured on U.S. TV in 1960) to the backseat of a Volkswagen Jetta. Like the Singin' in the Rain/Volkswagen/pop-and-lock commercial before it and others in the past two decades that have resurrected dead stars, this one also sparked controversy among critics.
