Singin' in the Rain
The musical I watched was
the 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain, staring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds. This film is
one of my favorites; I find it to be both hilarious and heart warming. Plus I
love the unique comedic view on the history of “talkies”. I think one of my
most favorite scenes is when they do a test viewing of Lina Lamont and Don
Lockwood’s first attempt at a talking picture but unfortunately the audio gets
mixed up. The whole “no no no” in the high-pitched woman’s voice over the male
villain’s nodding his head in agreement, it makes me crack up every time. I
used to watch this movie a lot with my family as a child so it always brings
back sweet memories for me. Also my mother, being a huge movie buff, was able
to give me interesting tid-bits like that Gene Kelly was suffering from a fever
of 104 when he preformed the actual song “Singing in the Rain”. And at the end
of the day I always love being able to sing along with “Good Mornin”. I really
do love this movie!
