Singin' in the Rain
Dir: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen
1952
***
I absolutely love musicals but just not this kind. Gene Kelly is a real charmer and his persona really shines through what is really a ridiculous story with songs that have no relevance to what's going on at all. I fond the song 'Make em' laugh' to be one of the most annoying ever written and it always seems to be sung by the most unfunny of people. All that aside, the dream-like dance scenes were great and you can't be anything but impressed by the production, the dancing is superb and it's not a bad film at all, just not my cup of tea. The rating is based purely on my enjoyment, obviously, and I know why others love it and consider it a classic.
