Perfect for Needing Something Fun and Happy!Jan 12, 2010 You know, I saw this movie on TV when I was a kid and I loved it. I grew to love it more on the 1st anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks. My room-mate and I rented it (he had never seen it before) and we watched it. We still paid our respects to those who were taken from us but we were also able to lift our spirits. We try to get together every year to watch it. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds were phenomenal.
It left me speechless....Jan 11, 2010 It is not of category of been good or bad, it is stupendous. The performance, technical quality, music, dancing, CAMERA WORK, are nothing short of AMAZING. That is a real movie work, the real picture, full of talent , imagination, presentation and love! If this movie would be in the theaters again I would go and watch, instead of cheap phantasy junk computer graphics. I am waiting for Blu-Ray release. Movies like that make our life more fascinating to live!

WATERLOGGEDDec 11, 2009 Better to watch harvester ants harvesting to the music of Luigi Boccherini for 103 minutes than this musically derivative drivel. It was unceremoniously/critically reviewed upon its initial release. Were we more literate in the 1950's?
Only two of the dozen or so tunes are original to this film. 'Singin' in the Rain' dates to 1929.
AFI, in their infinite sagacity, does it again.
classicDec 10, 2009 Great, happy musical. Unforgettable Donald O'Connor dance sequence. Classic Gene Kelley. Enjoyable premise.

Humility is divine, arrogance is laughableNov 02, 2009 That film is one of these classics we all know about but we most of us have never seen, in full or in parts. And that was my case. That film of 1952 looks back at the great shift in the cinema from silent movies to talkies and the drama it may have represented for some artists who could not adapt. This film adds to that some nasty aspects of that change, of silent films (and that has not really changed), how everything is artificial and nothing but a glossy appearance. Those actors and actresses love one another in so bizarre ways at times, and they have to cope with producers and directors. But the film is funny because so many elements are shown as ironical, humorous or just plain hilarious, not to mention some cruelty here and there. Then the plot is sentimental and even romantic with a complete rift between a fake mediatic love affair and another secret and deep love that is no affair at all but a passion. The film amplifies that rift by giving to the mediatic mistress the voice of a goat and her impossibility or rather unwillingness to train herself into some kind of drinkable vocal sound, drinkable for the audience. So the studio invents dubbing and the actress is dumb enough to want to speak to her audience who liked the voice on the screen so much. The shock is so hard that they require a song and then the dubbing has to be revealed and that is the end of a career that gets silent and mute because it should have stayed silent and mute, but vanity requires adulation and worship and then a voice has to be put on the nice face and it is the discovery of the lie, of the illusion and the public never takes it with a grain of salt when they discover they have been fooled. That film is famous for one song though it is a singing and dancing treat from beginning to end, an allusion to the career of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and some others, but with a touch of realism in the behavior of these Hollywood people. And that touch is the best fun of the film: vanity has no limits and vainer than I you die. A real treat of entertainment and an important page in the huge history book of the cinema.
