Review of Singin' in the Rain (1952) by Four Star F — 05 Feb 2013
This movie is a comedy, a romance, and above all a musical. However along with the immortal dance routines there is a plot and characters that are memorable as well. It helps to glorify a very different time in Hollywood and delivers a film that is funny and full of excellent song and dance.
There is something about this film that makes it extremely special. Even after seeing it many times I am still captivated by every joke and every unforgettable song. What can beat the brilliance and antics of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor backed by Debbie Reynolds? There is a touching love story to go along with these great actors and songs.
Gene Kelly's sloshing about in the title song is timeless and O'Connor delivers a hilarious performance in such songs as Make 'em Laugh. There are a few dance sequences that are drawn out but the rest is top notch and keeps the audience enamored the entire time.
This truly is a classic movie and musical that is both funny and heartwarming.
