  5.0 out of 5 stars A Feel-Good Movie For The Ages

  It's hard to believe that there may be some people out there who have not seen Singin' In The Rain but if you are one of them, this new digital remastered version is an absolute treat. It's 1927 and Hollywood is in a turmoil because the first sound film has been released. Suddenly, all the silent stars must learn to speak. For Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) this is no problem but for his squeaky-voiced co-star played by Jean Hagen it is a huge problem.
  With the help of his long-time pal Donald O'Connor, Gene begins to revamp his latest film into a talkie. To complicate matters, he falls for rising star Debbie Reynolds and that just irritates Jean Hagen all the more.
  The problems eventually get ironed out and in the process we get some great singing and dancing numbers including O'Connors exhausting "Make 'Em Laugh" and Kelly's "Broadway Melody" fantasia which includes an appearance by Cyd Charisse. There's never a dull moment and not one second-rate song in this great film.
  No wonder it is considered one of the top Hollywood musical films of all time.
