The cast, the costumes, the sets, the music, choreography...I could go on about it all day.<br /><br />I saw this on the big screen a couple of years ago, and the audience adored it. You can tell everyone was really into it, which made for a wonderful theatre experience.<br /><br />Fave LIne: "Well, if it isn't Ethel Barrymore!"Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288554694249618370.post-10915787596913642142015-05-17T17:36:01.631-07:002015-05-17T17:36:01.631-07:00Great review of a magnificent movie!

The jokes and plotlines still work brilliantly, and when I recently watched it with a friend who isn't that into classic movies, he loved it! It's so much fun to watch if you catch the in-jokes, references, and know a little of the backstory (like the voices switch you mentioned), but it still works just great on its own!

Just glad to be able to see it in any venue). I've always loved "Make 'em Laugh" but this time I realized that in his group numbers it was Donald O'Connor I always look for. He is just magnetic.

I'm so glad that you highlighted the amazing work of Donald O'Connor. He is sadly remembered as a comedian. Well, he was very good at that--but he was a terrific dancer who didn't get enough quality films to show off his talents. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, though, provided him with just that!

It has everything! Although Kelly is superb and Reynolds a darling, the kudos have to go to O'Connor as Cosmo and Hagen as Lina Lamont. They definitely had the plum parts. Who could ever forget the first time we heard Lina Lamont speak. It's hysterical. Very well-done article, Patricia, and I also loved the links you provided.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288554694249618370.post-58973488525902582015-05-16T09:35:05.193-07:002015-05-16T09:35:05.193-07:00A great classic and a great favourite.
