Singin' In The Rain | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Comedy, romance, great musical numbers, stars at their best and a fond recreation of a bygone moviemaking era: Singin? In The Rain has so much that it ranked a lofty 10th on the American Film Institute?s 100 Best American Film list. ?Gotta dance,? sings star and co-director Gene Kelly. But the imperative of the film?s storyline is gotta talk! Silents are giving way to Talkies ? and a hoofer-turned-matinee-idol (Kelly) is caught in that bumpy transition, as well as his buddy (Donald O?Connor), prospective ladylove (Debbie Reynolds) and a shrewish co-star (Jean Hagen in a hilarious Oscar-nominated performance). Singin? In The Rain is pure singin?, dancin?, laughin? moviewatchin? joy.

Synopsis: Lively, romantic comedy/drama about movie musical production in the 1920s. Considered one of the all-time great movie musicals. Still popular with genre fans seeking catchy songs, stunning dance sequences, superlative cast.
