Epitome of the Golden Era

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 2000)

This film has always been a favorite of mine. It is the epitome of the golden era of Hollywood in both the script and the production. This film embodies all the reasons why America loves film (or at least why they did at that time) through its self-reflexive plot. We see the glamorous lives of Hollywood stars, allowing us to feel like we are a part of the life of which so many moviegoers dream of. Gene Kelly, as always, charms the audience with his many talents, which are greatly complemented by Donald O'Connor's comedy stylings and Debbie Reynolds' beautiful voice and acting. For years this film has been treasured by audiences for the style, production value and just the pure enjoyment of the film and it would be a crime to miss such a jewel.
