Movie Info
Hollywood, 1927: the silent-film romantic team of Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) is the toast of Tinseltown. While Lockwood and Lamont personify smoldering passions onscreen, in real life the down-to-earth Lockwood can't stand the egotistical, brainless Lina. He prefers the company of aspiring actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), whom he met while escaping his screaming fans. Watching these intrigues from the sidelines is Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor), Don's best pal

...this one's the Taj Mahal, Armstrong's footprint on the moon, the 2001 Arizona-New York World Series, the Clash's London Calling, and the perfect foamy head on an expertly poured Guinness.
Top CriticOne of the shining glories of the American musical.
A fancy package of musical entertainment with wide appeal and bright grossing prospects.
If you've never seen it and don't, you're bonkers.
Compounded generously of music, dance, color, spectacle and a riotous abundance of Gene Kelly, Jean Hagen and Donald O'Connor on the screen, all elements in this rainbow program are carefuly contrived and guaranteed to...put you in a buttercup mood.
Watching Singin' in the Rain is an exuberant, magical experience -- a journey deep into the heart of feel-good territory.
Kelly's delight - not in his own movements, but in the sheer joy of being able to move - is contagious.
It's tough to fight the consensus that this is the greatest movie musical of all time (although, to be honest, I would place it second, just a hair below Top Hat), but what's often lost in the praise is that this also qualifies as a great comedy.
Often considered the finest musical of all time.
For humour and sheer energy, no musical betters Singin' In The Rain.
At the time, this film was treated as just another MGM musical but over the years it has gained in stature and is now considered as one of the best American films ever made--Read why.
Come rain or shine, the Hollywood musical never got any better than this rip-roaring Stanley Donen/Gene Kelly classic.
Mandatory viewing for even the casual moviegoer.
The greatest musical ever!! A movie everyone should see over and over again. If it doesn't touch you, check your pulse.
A big beautiful film! You can watch it 1000 times and still giggle!
False picture of early talkie era is not nearly as good as its reputation.
Hollywood's best musical
It is an improbable masterpiece; a film where everything just has that indistinguishable quality of fitting together.
Among the jewels that Arthur Freed's musicals unit turned out at MGM in the '40s and '50s, Singin' in the Rain is the Hope diamond.
