SYNOPSIS
Hollywood in the 1920s must adapt: The unexpected popularity of talkies pushes studios and stars to reinvent themselves. Lockwood (Kelly) and his lovely but screechy-voiced costar’s first talkie is a disaster in previews, but he convinces the studio to turn THE DUELLING CAVALIER into the musical THE DANCING CAVALIER. But this solution means dubbing his costar’s voice, ensuring sparks will fly!
This joyful musical sparks the desire to splash around in puddles and smile at the sky. Musical numbers glide from poignant (“The Broadway Ballet”) to gleeful (“Singin’ in the Rain”), with Gene Kelly lighting up the screen in scene after scene.
