SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor

Turner/MGM; Directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen

Not Rated; 102 minutes; 1952

Considered by many to be the finest musical comedy of all-time, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is sheer delight. Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote this wonderful film about the time when movies were changing from silent to talkies. The songs range from the hilarious "Make 'Em Laugh" performed by O'Connor, to the delicate "You Were Meant for Me" and the show-stopping classic "Singin' in the Rain" solo by Gene Kelly.
