Timeless classic

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2020)

I was going to write a long review eulogising about the spellbinding choreography, the timeless songs and the one-of-a-kind chemistry between the cast but what is the point when every film fan already knows what a timeless classic it is? It is easy to be cynical about the Hollywood machine, and even the film itself gently satirises the system that made it, yet every now and again that soulless production line churns out a perfectly formed piece of screen magic where every element is in perfect unity. In 1952 such an event occurred and Singin' in the Rain has been enthralling generations of people ever since.
It is pure undiluted cinema at its finest.
