Rating: 10/10 (30 September 1999)

What can be said about Singin' in the Rain that hasn't been said 1,000 times before. Great songs, sappy romance, eye-popping dance sequences and some great comic relief make this infinitely watchable.
If you haven't seen the Make'em Laugh dance sequence, then their is a great void in your life. Donald O'Connor will be permanently engraved in your brain after viewing this film - it is positively wonderful.
Is it the best musical of all time? Most say yes, but I like West Side Story better, primarily because the music in WSS in incomparable. But WSS is dark and depressing, SITR is light and snappy and suitable for anyone.
See this and see the Kelly-O'Connor combo its peak and one of the best works of art from Hollywood's golden age.
**** out of **** (which is barely enough).
