Singin’ in the Rain is the iconic Musical. Released in 1952, this film has it all. Great singing, amazing dancing, a fun story and spectacle galore. The film stars Gene Kelly in the lead as Don Lockwood, as well as Debbie Reynolds in one of her earliest roles as Kathy Selden. The film also stars Donald O’Connor as Cosmo Brown and Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont.The story takes place in 1927, as films are transitioning from silent moving pictures to “talkies,” and offers a glimpse behind the scenes in early Hollywood film making. Don and Cosmo have to figure out what to do with Lina Lamont when it comes out that her voice is not going to work for the new audio tracks accompanying films. This is a love story, a comedy and a musical all rolled into one, and our team is talking about why it has endured for so long. Tracy talks about why this film is in his top 10 or 15 of all time. Val talks about the influence this film has on her as a budding filmmaker herself.What do you think of Singin’ in the Rain? Is it one of your all-time favorite films?
