Indeed, when the prestigious British film magazine Sight \u0026amp; Sound conducts its international critics poll in the second year of every decade, this 1952 MGM picture is the American musical that consistently ranks among the 10 best movies ever made. It's not only a great song-and-dance piece starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and a sprightly Debbie Reynolds; it's also an affectionately funny insider spoof about the film industry's uneasy transition from silent pictures to \"talkies.\" Kelly plays debonair star Don Lockwood, whose leading lady Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) has a screechy voice hilariously ill-suited to the new technology (and her glamorous screen image). Among the musical highlights: O'Connor's knockout \"Make 'Em Laugh\"; the big \"Broadway Melody\" production number; and, best of all, that charming little title ditty in which Kelly makes movie magic on a drenched set with nothing but a few puddles, a lamppost, and an umbrella. --Jim Emerson\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00006DEF9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00006DEF9.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gene Kelly|Donald O'Connor|Debbie Reynolds|Jean Hagen|Millard Mitchell|Cyd Charisse|Douglas Fowley|Rita Moreno|Dawn Addams|John Albright|Betty Allen|Sue Allen|David Thompson|Peter Fitzgerald|Stanley Donen|Adolph Green|Arthur Freed|Betty Comden|Nacio Herb Brown\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41493790195770,"sku":"DBV.B00006DEF9.N","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B00006DEF9-0_fc70f061-2b4d-4cb7-a8e3-c7215b7012b3.jpg?v=1782755255","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/singin-in-the-rain-two-disc-special-edition","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
