Epic dance and singing scenes!

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2020)

This movie is full of talent. Best of all was Donald O'Connors solo, including unbelievable flips and plenty of carpet burn moments - I guess Homer Simpson didn't do the running in a circle on the ground first! Amazing all without a stunt man. I can see why some people take something like La La Land and say it doesn't have good enough dancing when you compare to something like this. This is so well rehearsed and choreographed that even if I didn't really get into the story as much it was just worth it for the dancing talent.
Movies of this era seem to have some real issues with the pitch of a women's voice. Many of them sound very whinny and screechy! Gone with the wind would be another example.
The story does get a bit weird throughout the middle part of this movie though, like La La Land with the flying scenes. But this was not that big of a deal in the end.
Obviously the Singin in the Rain number was a great hit, and its nice to be able to see where a classic began. Would happily watch this again.
