Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
No one even bothers to argue about it any more--by any standard and international consensus, this is the best movie musical of them all. Its arcane, unlikely milieu is Hollywood during the transition in the late 1920s from silent to sound motion pictures. Its reason for being was producer Arthur Freed's desire to use the catalog of songs he had written with Nacio Herb Brown in the '20s and '30s for various shows and movies. But, ironically, it's now the soundtrack that seems cobbled together from disparate sources, while the movie itself remains seamless. That's thanks to a literate screenplay by Adolph Green and Betty Comden and ebulliant acting and dancing by the young Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. Jean Hagen is especially brilliant as the silent-screen star whose speaking voice is so screechy she has to be dubbed for talkies. Kelly codirected with Stanley Donen, and both can take credit for a masterpiece. Musical standouts are "You Were Meant for Me," "Good Morning" and "All I Do Is Dream of You." Visually, the indelible image will always be Kelly sloshing around in puddles while singin' in the rain. That said, this coupling of video with a definitive version of the soundtrack benefits from Rhino's meticulous reconstruction of the material and extensive annotations, which only enhance our grasp of this film and musical legend's gestation. ---Robert Windeler

Seen as one of the greatest musicals of all time, Singin' in the Rain is a great example of the high-time of Hollywood; the evolution of silent film to talking pictures.
Starring screen legend Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood, silent picture hero who is trying his hardest not to be stifled by his not-so-intelligent female co-star Lina Lamont(Jean Hagen). With the help of his best friend since childhood the comedic Cosmo(Donald O'Connor) and the new girl in his life, talented Kathy ... Read More

This one has worked for me many times. I always keep a few musicals on hand to help me catch up on sleep.
In this production things like an over 13 minute "dance number" makes it especially valuable soporifically. Sometimes pretentiously referred to as a "Broadway Ballet" (or something of the kind) it consists, as far as I can see, of a lot of people in loud costumes prancing around and Gene Kelly intoning "Gotta Dance" repeatedly. Great stuff to induce some needed Z's.

Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen, 1952)
I have long held to a belief that Fiddler on the Roof was the only decent movie musical ever made (unless you want to count Pink Floyd: The Wall as a movie musical and not a long-form video, or The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which I guess is more a musical than anything). I have now come to understand that I've just been watching the wrong movie musicals, because Singin' in the Rain is about as delightful as they come.

This movie isn't just a masterpiece, it is lots of fun to watch. It is really enjoyable. The songs are wonderful. The story is amusing, and the dancing is infectious. The actors seem to be having so much fun, the audience just can't resist. If you love movies, you can't miss Singin' In The Rain. It's just wonderful. The extras are great on this DVD. The commentary is one of the best I've ever listened to. Just plain buy this DVD.

I am not going to try to reiterate all of the laudatory reviews from other customers. But I will restate the claims of many who regard SITR as one of the ten best films ever made. Without a doubt it is, and that includes all types of films. Yes, the very theme of the film is a little "corny." but so was the era it portrays - when movies were "king" and the industry was in a tremendous state of transition. "Tongue-in-cheek" about covers the story line, which is beautifully woven into "the" classic Hollywood ... Read More
