Singin' In The Rain
One of the most iconic musicals, Singin' in the Rain remains a fun and delightful film over 70 years after its release. With co-direction from Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen and a script by Betty Comden and Aloph Green, Singin' in the Rain is brought to life in full technicolor wonder.
In 1927, silent films are still captivating audiences and Donald "Don" Lockwood is a popular actor who, along with many stars, are facing the coming of talking pictures. While his voice works well for sound, Don is not the talented actor he thought and faces the end of his career until the idea of creating his latest film, The Dueling Cavalier, into a musical using his vaudeville background to excel. With help from new girlfriend, Kathy, and best friend, Cosmo, all three work to make the production a success and hope their stardom continues.
Singin' in the Rain is a delightful and fun musical that continues to captivate and inspire audiences. With lyrics by Arthur Freed and music by Nacio Herb Brown, the film has iconic and memorable songs such as "Good Morning" and "Sinigin' in the Rain" that were previously seen in other musicals. The dance numbers, choreographed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, are themselves iconic. "Good Morning" which featured an in sync dance number of Kelly with Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor has them going up and down stairs and over a couch, which according to Reynolds, was redone so many times her feet bleed. The iconic "Singin in the Rain" dance number features Gene Kelly singing and dancing in the pouring rain on an empty street with his umbrella. The scene has become not only an icon but an example of dedication and commitment as Kelly had a 103 degree fever when filming.
Singin' in the Rain is a delightfully fun musical with a good story, great characters, some comedy, and an overall fun watch!
