VHS Video – Singin’ in the Rain

This is a very slightly used, excellent-condition VHS video.

“”What a glorious feeling!”  An exhilarating and fast-moving musical comedy, Singin’ in the Rain is the most popular of all Hollywood musicals.  A lavish production directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, it’s a gentle parody of Hollywood’s frantic transition to the “talkies” during the late ‘20s.

Jean Hagen won high praise for her portrayal of Lina Lamont, a silent movie queen whose unappealing voice nearly forces her producer (Millard Mitchell) to scrap their new film.  Lamont’s leading man is Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) but he croons the romantic “You Were Meant For Me” to aspiring singer Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds).  Donald O’Connor is in his best comic form in “Make ‘Em Laugh.”  The famous title song is one of Kelly’s most inspired routines, and Cyd Charisse’s elegant dancing intensifies the excitement of the film’s finale.  With Kelly at his liveliest, a Comden and Green screenplay, unforgettable music and lavish routinges, Singin’ in the Rain has “Just about everything you could as for in a musical” (Saturday Review).”
