Singin' in the Rain (Two-Disc Special Edition) Summary Silent Movies Are Giving Way To Talking Pictures - And A Hoofer-turned-matinee Idol (gene Kelly) Is Caught In That Bumpy Transition, As Well As His Buddy (donald O'connor), Prospective Ladylove (debbie Reynolds) And Shrewish Co-star (jean Hagen). The Musical Masterwork Singin' In The Rain Marks Its 50th Anniversary In This Deluxe Edition Providing A Downpour Of Celebratory Special Features That Salute Not Just This All-time Favorite But Also The Musical Legacy Of Its Producer, Songwriter Arthur Freed.

Decades before the Hollywood film industry became famous for megabudget disaster and science fiction spectaculars, the studios of Southern California (and particularly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) were renowned for a uniquely American (and nearly extinct) kind of picture known as The Musical. Indeed, when the prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound conducts its international critics poll in the second year of every decade, this 1952 MGM picture is the American musical that consistently ranks among the 10 best movies ever made. It's not only a great song-and-dance piece starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and a sprightly Debbie Reynolds; it's also an affectionately funny insider spoof about the film industry's uneasy transition from silent pictures to "talkies." Kelly plays debonair star Don Lockwood, whose leading lady Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) has a screechy voice hilariously ill-suited to the new technology (and her glamorous screen image). Among the musical highlights: O'Connor's knockout "Make 'Em Laugh"; the big "Broadway Melody" production number; and, best of all, that charming little title ditty in which Kelly makes movie magic on a drenched set with nothing but a few puddles, a lamppost, and an umbrella. --Jim Emerson
