"Singin' in the Rain" (1952)


Gene Kelly. Debbie Reynolds. Gene Kelly again brings unique dance numbers to the film. As many others know and love, I quite enjoyed the dance number in the rain to "Singin' in the Rain". The storyline itself is pretty much a repeat of other musicals/theater-stars-making-it movies. Kelly's dance routines and Donald O'Connor's physical humor are the main unique qualities. Story, once again, set in 1900s - 1920s, however, does include the cross over into sound. I bet the sound and script people had fun with the first premier w/ sound issues bit.

Now I want to see the ice skating copy of this number by (Butano?).
