Musical Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2014)

He sings, he acts, he dances, he directs.This Gene Kelly classic transformed how musical movies are produced in the 50's. Set up in late 1920's this musical elegantly portrays the transition from silent movies to the so called 'talkies'. The performance of Gene Kelly in the song "Singin' in the Rain" is a treat to watch and is now considered iconic. The other roles have also been executed perfectly most notably the performance of a vain and talent-less star by Jean Hagen.Although the depiction of the motion picture industry could not have been less accurate, Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly's exuberant tap-dancing bravado combined with a paramount anthology makes this movie a must watch.
