One of the shining glories of the American musical, this 1952 feature was fabricated (by screenwriters Betty Comden and Adolph Green) around a collection of old songs written by producer Arthur Freed and brought to bright, brash, and exuberant life by directors Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly. The setting is Hollywood's troubled transition to sound, and there is just enough self-reflexive content (on the eternal battle between illusion and reality in the movies) to structure the film's superb selection of numbers.

With so many films dedicated to the agonies of filmmaking, Singin’ overflows with the pleasure of movie creation, stitching together references to Hollywood history with more alacrity than Tarantino. One of the highpoints of hoofin’ history but, more importantly, an unadulterated joy.

Watching Singin' in the Rain is an exuberant, magical experience – a journey deep into the heart of feel-good territory. Sitting through the film's 102 minutes is like ingesting a mood-altering drug. It's the perfect antidote to the blues and the blahs, and a way to bolster, enhance, and extend a natural high.

Escapism raised to the level of art, Singin' In The Rain inventively satirizes the illusions of the filmmaking process while celebrating their life-affirming joy. Half parody, half homage, the movie became the apex of the splashy MGM musical, while showcasing the collaborative possibilities of the studio system.

So far the best musical film ever. I can't get any words to describe how beautiful this movie is. Only thing I regret now is that I didn't watch this movie sooner.

Assisti esse filme em 2018 e é simplismente sensacional, uma grande química por parte de Kelly, Reynolds and O'Connor, atuação incrivel, enredo. É um dos melhores filmes musical de todos os tempos até lançar La La Land que o teve como inspiração Singin' in the rain.

A masterpiece of American musicals. Gene Kelly happily sings and dances in the rain after first gaining her heart. This plot is a timeless classic in the history of musicals! I don't remember how many times I have read this paragraph.
