I'm happy again.

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2004)

What a fantastic film. I've never really been a massive fan of musicals but this one just had everything. The songs are wonderful, especially Good Morning and the title tune, performed by the man himself, Gene Kelly. The guy is just a genius, watching him dance just made my hair stand on end. Even the story was great. I loved the film-within-a-film concept (even if the love story is a little slight). The whole thing is just so polished. Final mention must go to the 'Make Em Laugh' sequence which, while admittedly having little to do with the main plot, was just so brilliantly executed by Donald O' Connor (who is also 'the man'). When he starts running up walls... I want to cry it's so good. Singin' in the Rain: makes me happy.
