	Mainstage Management: "Singin' in the Rain"
		Like the movie, the stage version of Singin’ in the Rain is about making movies; specifically, that tumultuous period when Hollywood was making the somewhat painful changeover from silent films to “talkies”.
		An American tradition and the ultimate movie musical, Singin’ In the Rain is without a doubt the one movie recognized throughout the world as an example of Hollywood at its best.
		The famous “rain dance” number which has been indelibly imprinted in our collective conscience by Gene Kelly was kept in its entirety and is wonderfully recreated onstage with the help of an ingeniously designed “rain machine”.

	DVD Savant Review: Singin' in the Rain
		The Dueling Cavalier, Singin' in the Rain's movie within a movie, is as hammy and thick-headed as many of the 'Vagabond Lover' or 'Desert Song' type of operetta movies, where the actors stood like statues in silly costumes and sang overwrought ballads.
		Singin' in the Rain is one of the most entertaining films ever made, and among all the Classics You Must See, it's the easiest one to watch again and again.
		Singin' in the Rain's details for the transition to talkies are not far off the mark.

	"Singin' in the Rain"
		The comic plot of "Singin' in the Rain" introduces a leading lady (Lina Lamont character) who posseses one of the most shrieky, nasal voices with a lower class New 'Yawk' accent.
		To avoid the obvious failure of a film starring an actress with such an annoying voice, the film in the story is to be turned into a musical with another girl (Kathy Seldon character) dubbing the voice.
		This results in the perfect solution...a successful film; that is, however, until the hoax is revealed.

	Metroactive Movies 'Singin' in the Rain'
		Singin' in the Rain is a comedy about the advent of sound film and the troubles it caused silent-movie actors, who had been talented pantomime artists but never elocutionists.
		Like one of the first Hollywood movie musicals, The Broadway Melody (1929), Singin' in the Rain is a backstage story.
		If the future of the movie musical is, essentially, in its past, what ought to be borrowed from Singing' in the Rain is its wised-up attitude toward the making of entertainment.

		The studio head, played with gleeful authority by Millard Mitchell, is in a panic and in desperation accepts the suggestion of Lockwood that he and Cosmo turn the movie into a musical and dub Lamont's voice with Seldon's.

	Singin' in the Rain (1952)
		Singin’ in the Rain is a movie about movies (even the romance is too Hollywood to be taken as anything but fiction) and the relevance and importance of the fantasies we see onscreen.
		Singin’ in the Rain, surely the greatest musical ever made in my eyes, has been caught in many more such coincidences in my life that have salvaged me from black-and-gray states, and it always shines a light of optimism.
