dancing that gives you the chills

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2003)

Singin' In The Rain quite possibly one of the best movie musicals of all time. The dancing is unforgettable and fantastic, mesmerizing the audience until the credits are done. Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor are perfect in their roles. Kelly plays Don Lockwood, a cocky and handsome superstar in the 1920s who just made a bad talking movie with his romantic leading lady, Lena Lamont (Jean Hagen). Donald O'Connor's character, Cosmo Brown, is the absolutely hilarious best friend of Lockwood, who sings his famous "Make 'Em Laugh" number and cracks jokes from beginning to end. Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds) enters the plot as Lockwood's love interest and Lena Lamont gets jealous. "Moses Supposes", "Singin' In The Rain" and "Broadway Melody" are fantastic and classic numbers that will make you want to become a dancer yourself! Each time I watch this film, it gets better and better. I can never get sick of it. ***1/2 out of ****
