Gene Kelly's suit worn in Singin' In The Rain set to reach £100k in auction
THE suit worn by Gene Kelly as he splashed his way through a downpour in Singin’ In The Rain is expected to fetch £100,000 at a US auction.
The woollen two-piece is still water-stained 60 years after the famous dance routine was filmed.
The owner paid just £6 for it in a mass sell-off of movie costumes in 1970.
Margaret Barrett, of Heritage Auctions, said: “I would like to see the suit go for a six-figure sum – it deserves to.”
The sale is in Dallas, Texas, on December 6.
