Singin' in the Rain
(1952)
Directed by Stanley
Donen and star Gene Kelly this film also features Debbie Reynolds,
Donald O'Connor and Jean Hagen. As silent films are about to be
replaced by talkies one star tries to fend off the attentions of his
long time female co-star.
Let's be honest here
most of the time the plot of this film is a tenuous at best excuse
for the lavish song and mostly dance routines. Often the dance
routines pretty much take over as the spin out massive sequences
which are really impressively staged with some serious scale. While
the story may leave something to be desired what we do get is always
entertaining and nearly always highly impressive.
4/5
