Charming and wonderfully made musical & dancing extravaganza

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2002)

1st watched 12/21/2002 - 8 out of 10(Dir-Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen): Charming and wonderfully made musical & dancing extravaganza with a background built on the movie-maker's entrance to talkies. What makes this movie unique is it's wonderfully staged numbers from "Singin in the Rain" to wonderfully funny songs with Kelly and Donald O'Conner. Kelly has a knack for using props and he does this with wonderful results especially in the use of water for the title track. Oh, if life, we're only as perfect as a musical such as this(then we truly would be singing and dancing in rain, snow, sleet or hail). Movie magic definetly puts us in this place for this feature which is what gave this picture such a broad appeal and will make it last for a long time in movie history.
