Singin’ in the Rain

Dirs. Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly. 1952, 103 mins. DCP. With Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds. Donen and Kelly’s satirical look at Hollywood at the cusp of the sound era is simply the most joyous experience one could ever have going to the movies. With its super-saturated colors, non-stop belly laughs, playlist of repurposed classic tunes, and, of course, dazzling display of fabulous footwork—including O’Connor’s show-stopping “Make ’em Laugh,” Kelly’s iconic titular tune, and the epic, eye-popping “Broadway Melody” number—Singin’ in the Rain is a blast. What better way of honoring the late Stanley Donen, who passed away this February, than by showing one of the great movie musicals, which he directed with Kelly. Recommended for ages 6+
