The Best Musical I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2002)

This was simply amazing. When Roger Ebert mentioned that this was one of his favourites, I knew I had to see it. I bought the DVD for a meager 10 dollars and watched it. This was great. Gene Kelly is just one hell of an amazing dancer. No wonder he was such a ladies man. He was very slick! There are so many great numbers in the movie aside from the title track "singing in the rain". Debbie Reynolds is terrific as the love interest of Gene Kelly. The plot of the movie is interesting. It involves scandle and intrigue and romance. However, the singing/dancing numbers stand out above all other musicals I have seen. This movie left me feeling great (which I need from time to time). I found my face fixed in a grin throughout the entire film. Few movies have forced my face to contort that way without me realizing it. Ah, if only there were a way I could go back to that magical time when film noir was more in fasion. Now that I have seen my first Gene Kelly movie, I will have to have a Gene Kelly movie marathon! Go see this movie. Better yet, BUY IT. It's a must have for any musical buff, trust me on this one!!
