Description:
Singin` in the Rain is a 1952 American comedy musical film starring Gene Kelly, Donald O`Connor and Debbie Reynolds and directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, with Kelly also providing the choreography. It offers a comic depiction of Hollywood, and its transition from silent films to "talkies."
Although it was not a big hit when first released, it was accorded its legendary status by contemporary critics. It is now frequently described as one of the best musicals ever made,[1] topping the AFI`s 100 Years of Musicals list, and ranking fifth in its updated list of the greatest American films in 2007.
