Singin' in the Rain

More details

USA / 1952

How envious we are of anyone who still hasn’t seen this film – one of the most beloved and important musicals in Hollywood history.

Hollywood at the end of the 1920s, as cinema makes the leap from silent films to sound. Don Lockwood is a successful silent film star enjoying fame alongside his screen partner Lina Lamont. But with the arrival of the talkies, a major problem emerges: Lina’s shrill, unpleasant voice makes her unfit for sound films. During the production of a new picture, Don meets Kathy Selden, a talented young actress he falls in love with. She agrees to secretly dub Lina’s lines and songs, letting her own beautiful voice shine through.

Featuring some of the most dazzling dance sequences ever filmed, this is the ultimate movie musical – co-directed by Gene Kelly (who also stars) and Stanley Donen – crowned by the iconic number “Singin’ in the Rain,” one of cinema’s most unforgettable moments.
