Singin' in the Rain

What is there to say about this movie other than that is a classic? I love the plot of silent film stars trying to make the transition to talkies. Gene Kelly is amazing. Debbie Reynolds is great. Donald O'Connor is the glue. Jean Hagan as the ditzy blonde Lina Lamont is hilarious. And I haven't even mentioned the dancing.

The songs are good, the dancing is amazing, the sets are bursting with color. And then there's the scene with Cyd Charisse. Sigh.

SHR didn't care for it too much though. Maybe she never got over the fact that for all of these years she thought the entire movie was set in the rain while Gene Kelly sang in it.
