not a fan of musicals, but I'm a fan of Singin'

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2015)

I'm not much of a fan of musicals, but I'm a fan of Singin' in the Rain! Most musicals I find either boring, forced, or both. Either the music and dancing is forced into the story or the story is forced into the music and dancing. Not with this film. It all flows together and packs quite a punch. The music and choreography are excellent and then when you add in the story, dialog and comedic elements you get a truly wonderful experience. The acting and comedic elements are intertwined with two story lines, the transition from silent films to talkies, but also evolving relationship between Don Lockwood and Kethy Selden. This a must see film!
