Singin' in the rain (1952)

what is considered the greatest musical of all time is deserving, if not a bit overrated, but it's a simple film, easy to understand with some of the best dance choregraphy i've evn seen on screen

Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) is a silent film star in 1927, famous for his pairing with Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), but the studio is moving to talkies and theres a reason why Lina has to stay silent- she has a scratchy and horrible voice. But Don meets Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds in her breakout role), who can sing and talks great! Lina doesn't like Kathy, and that's how the fun begins!

well in all honesty i watched the film last week and might have gotten a few deatils wrong but thats the basic outline of the story.
the acting is great, it's not brilliant, although Jean hagen was hysterical with that voice! i found it an interesting piece of trivia that she actually could sing in real life and even dubbed herself in the silent picture that we see in the film.
the music was great! fun to listen to and simple too. Dancing was what made the movie, it hold one of the most iconic dances in history, where Gene Kelly sings in the rain, but theres moe than just that scene! "Good Morning" is my favourite part of the whole film, that made it look so easy, Donald O'Connor was perfect in his solo "Make Em' Laugh".

acting: 4/5
songs: 4/5
dancing: 5/5
story: 3/5
writing: 4/5

film: 4/5
it's the greatest musical ever made, on regular film standards it's not brilliant but it deserves being the ruler of all musicals, after this film was released i'm sure that any musical the followed were compared it, it's unfair but this film is the perfect musical/comedy.
just my opinion but such a simple plot was elevted by electric performances and amzing dancing.
if you haven't seen it... SEE IT!!!!!!!!
