Singing and Dancing Gem

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2018)

This movie shows the story of the film industry as it transitions from the silent era to that of talking films and shows the fears and difficulties for those crafts people going through that process. The Singin' in the Rain sequence with Gene Kelly really is a bit of magic that never fails to delight. Most of the other musical numbers were also quite good. I also like the story as well. I will say that the acting does have that kind of one-dimensional cheerfulness so prevalent amongst movie musicals of this era, but despite that I still find this film quite enjoyable.
