| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 7, 2025
It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil.

Singin' in the Rain is simply the pinnacle of golden Hollywood magic. The most playful and cheerful depiction of the big studios era as it was actually unfolding. Amazing dancing sequences, tong in cheek dialogues, sharp self-awareness. Truly Magical.

[It] has been hailed as the greatest American musical ever made. It’s certainly one of the most fun, a knockabout reimagining of the transition from silent to sound movies: lousy history but a blast of singing, dancing, romance, energy and color.

That iconic imagery of Gene twirling, tapping, stomping, and splashing around lamp posts, puddles, and sidewalks while crooning is fixed in Hollywood legend, but "Singin in the Rain" has a lot more going on than just that one song-and-dance number.

Long before his arrival in Hollywood, Kelly aspired to blend dance with narrative and, with the technical assistance of Donen to realize his vision, he finally achieved his goal with Singin in the Rain.

Bristling with the old Arthur Freed production touch, this MGM Technicolor movie is entertaining in all departments and proves to be a top vehicle for the talents of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.

Let's not overlook the Charleston numbers, Kelly's rain dance in the street, the fabulous Hollywood premiere, the innumerable ribs Hollywood gives itself... Director Stanley Donen (and Kelly) and Producer Arthur Freed, who has done it again.
