Singin' In the Rain

Singin' in the Rain is a film about a the film-making business and this big time star(Gene Kelly) that fall in love with a aspiering actress(Debbie Reynolds). Along with the great and quite witty script is Gene Kelly and Donalds O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds amazing tap dancing skills that are shown in every dance/musical scece. With Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen directing the movie it really gives you a great feeling while watching it.
The main story in Singin' in the Rain is really about moving into talking picture in the show-biz. The main character Don Lockwood(Gene Kelly) always want to be in show-biz, but for the music not the acting. But his great looks and so called "amazing acting" shoot him to the top with famous actress Lina Lamont(Jean Hagen) who has interesting way of talking. As Don climbs to the top he mets Cathy Selden(Debbie Reynolds). He falls in love and has to hid it from Lina who thinks they are just two peas in a pod. As their studio progesses making their first talking picture there are ups and downs, many downs, that come their way.
The diolouge in the movie is the same way people would have talked back then in the 50's. They have theses witty little slide in's now and then, it helps keep the film moving along. But on thing that always happens is when something good is going along it always gets just a little bit messed up, someway, somehow.
Probally the best part of the whole movie would be the acting, you feel as if your just watching these peoples life. Just think when you could get any better with the acting Kelly, O'Connor and Reynolds start singing and tap dancing and how in sych and amazing their are just puts the movie over the top. The films also has amazing costumes. There is actually a part where they are making a commercial and it all about fashion and you get to see what the wealthy and hollywood stars woudl wear those days. For a girl its basically enchanting. The sets mainly include the street where Gene Kelly performs the famous signin' in the rain dance, the studio, and Don's house.
In the movie majority fo all light was high key or spotlight. At the beginning there is a low key lighting for the movie permire. Camera angles are crane shots for the permier so the audience can see what i big deal it is then medium lenght and close-ups on shocking parts. For every time they break out in a dance its full lenght shot. The editing was mostly cuts with some dissolving shots. The sound in the movie was great. Along with amazing signing the orchestra and band in the backround really helped.
The story and screenplay was by Adolph Green and Betty Conden. Lyrics by Arthur Feed. Music by Nacio Herb Brown. And produced by Arthur Freed.
