Gold - Singin' in the Rain review by griggs
An absolute downpour of joy! Gene Kelly may be the lead, but Donald O’Connor steals the show with 'Make ‘em Laugh’.

Pure Cinema Magic - Singin' in the Rain review by GI
Whether you are a lover of the classic Hollywood musicals or not Singing' In The Rain is a joy. Colourful, fun and simply a really happy film. It's also one of the great films about Hollywood itself. Everyone will know the songs even if you've never seen the film from the classic title song to 'Good Morning'. It has the great screen partnership of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor and introduced Debbie Reynolds (who had no previous dancing experience) to cinema. Kelly plays Don Lockwood, a silent movie star, who has made a string of highly popular films with his shallow co star Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). To the public they are a loving couple but in reality Don hates her. She also has a very high, squeaky voice (in real life Hagen had a really soft and beautiful voice) so when the studio moves to making Talkies Lina has to be dubbed by Kathy (Reynolds), a young, sweet budding actress and with who Don happens to be in love. Lina blackmails the studio head to keep secret that she has to rely on Kathy's voice to stay at the top but Don and his friend, Cosmo (O'Connor) have other ideas! Despite the great comedy, songs and dance numbers this is also a clever exposé of Hollywood celebrity image, showing the manipulation and selfishness that was the reality behind many of the most beloved stars, and it also tells the story of how many silent stars could not make the transition to sound. A wonderful, romantic musical comedy and classic film that everyone should see at least once, it's a simply a piece of cinema magic.
