Singin’ in The Rain (1952)(U)

Singin’ in the Rain emerged in the early 1950s, when the industry had achieved a mature distance from its silent origins. This sublime 1952 movie musical puts the artistry of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor and co on full, joyful display.

A silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionaly jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood. The unstoppable joy of the musical numbers, especially with O’Connor, is what never fails to satisfy.  I you haven’t seen it, watch it and if you have, watch it again!
