A story about the making of musicals in the 1920's

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2016)

This movie serves as a kind of meta commentary...as it is a musical about the making of a musical. The film seems to poke fun at the desperation of the movie industry in the 20's to put out sound films, just to please audiences. The soundtrack for this movie is fantastic. I can honestly say I've never heard the entire title track "Singing in the Rain" until watching the whole film and it was stuck in my head for weeks. All of the musical scenes were well choreographed, looked great in color, and were extremely well voiced by the actors and actresses. The cast was largely multi talented and created a great musical in the process of making fun of a bad one.
