Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

~~ Singin' in the Rain ~~ Anyone that reads my reviews know by now that I love the musicals, especially the old ones. Gene Kelly has always been in my top five of dancers and he stars in this film, he is also one of the directors and one of the two choreographers, so a very busy man. That classic scene where Gene Kelly dances along the street in the rain with his umbrella, singing the title song 'Singin' in the Rain' has been copied and replayed ...
...Cosmo and Kathy. Singin' In The Rain - well what can I say a true classic, which is possibly the most well know song from a musical and what most people remember Gene Kelly for. Would You? - This is a song that they have put in the new movie that they are making, you will have to watch the film to find out who sings this one? Broadway Melody - Don Lockwood and Dancers, what Gene Kelly does best is a fantastic Dance sequence. You Are My Lucky Star ...

Review of Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

Singin' In the Rain (1952) 103 Minutes Dir: Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly. Starring: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen I should've subtitled this 'I don't like musicals, but' As a rule, I'd give most films where the lead bursts into song a wide berth. For me, a film is credible (and therefore enjoyable) if you can believe in what is unfolding on the screen. How can you suspend belief if the actors suddenly start singing Cole ...
...instance my girlfriend cajoled me to watching 'Rent'. Don't get me wrong: it's worthy, serious stuff, but I had to turn it off after five minutes. Personally, I am no musicals expert. Wouldn't be able to be analyse one on technical details alone. However, if a musical entertains me (like Mamma Mia did), it gets my seal of approval and I'd watch it repeatedly. 'Singin' In The Rain' certainly fits the bill. Even a philistine like me can enjoy the ...

Review of Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

For this rainy Easter afternoon may I propose you a little musical journey? Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the rain beating on the ground, a sound of steps ring on the wet pavement. Suddenly a man appears and you think What a peculiar guy!, as he’s singing and dancing in the rain. Most people could believe he is a suicidal mad guy (there’s indeed a certain chance to get a pneumonia if you stay out with such a weather) but suddenly you ...
...a kid you used to love walking in the rain puddle pools but unfortunately (and curiously) your mother constantly forbid you to do so. However you’re now free to make your joy pop up in front of the whole world so DANCE now! DANCE! I’m obviously evoking the movie “Singin’in the rain”. This American movie was made in 1952 by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. In the Hollywood of the thirties this musical illustrate the adaptation of the world of cinema ...

Review of Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

This 1952 musical sees some of Hollyood's biggest stars come together in one of the best musicals of all time! Gene Kelly stars as Don Lockwood who is a big star of the silver screen. The film is set in the time of silent films but all this is about to change. 'Talkies' are about to become common place! It is decided that the Duelling Cavellier should become a Musical so that it will be a huge success. However, a big problem arises when they hear ...
...sing. She sounds TERRIBLE!! There is only one solution, Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) will have to do a voice over. However, Kathy apparently can't stand Don and so it takes some convincing to get her to do it. They have to keep this a secret from Lina as she thinks she is fabulous and would never agree to do it! This is a fabulous musical - full of comedy, romance, songs and mishaps. The most famous scene is obviously when Gene Kelly sings Singin ...

Review of Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

To me Singing in the rain was a really good clean musical, the songs were so understandable eg. morals. I first watched this film about 30 years ago, the main cast were Gene Kelly, Donald O`connor, Debbie Renolds who all played there parts to perfection. The story was about a singing girl(Debbie)and her two friends (gene & Don). They were looking for work in films(musicals), eventually Debbie gets a job as a voiceover of an actress with a terrible ...
...become tense. There is plenty of twists and turns and light hearted comedy that keeps it sweet till the very end. This film was and still is a film you can watch again and again, for any age, certainly a sunday afternooner. When alls said and done the main winner of Singin in the Rain is the music, each song tells the story from songs of saddness to songs of happiness. I will finish with saying I loved this film and always will.(I have it on DVD ...

Review of Singin' In The Rain (DVD)

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen Singin in the Rain and like all true classics it gets better with each viewing. Perfectly cast - Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and Jean Hagen - giving all a chance to shine. The plot is simple - the talkies are replacing the silent movies. For movie stars Don Lockwood & Lena Lamont there is one big problem - Lenas awful Bronx accent! By a strange movie quirk, Jean Hagen (Lamont) ...

A quality musical film with memorable tunes throughout. It is cheerful and entertain with amazing dancing from Gene Kelly and especially Donald O'Connor. A good film for the whole family to watch younger children will enjoy it more due to Lina Lamont, played by Jean Hagen and Cosmo Brown, played by Donald O'Connor. The film is basically a silent film production company and cast finding it very difficult to change to sound productions, Lina Lamont ...
