Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Decades before the Hollywood film industry became famous for megabudget disaster and science fiction spectaculars, the studios of Southern California (and particularly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) were renowned for a uniquely American (and nearly extinct) kind of picture known as The Musical. Indeed, when the prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound conducts its international critics poll in the second year of every decade, this 1952 MGM picture is the American musical that consistently ranks among the 10 best movies ever made. It's not only a great song-and-dance piece starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and a sprightly Debbie Reynolds; it's also an affectionately funny insider spoof about the film industry's uneasy transition from silent pictures to "talkies." Kelly plays debonair star Don Lockwood, whose leading lady Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) has a screechy voice hilariously ill-suited to the new technology (and her glamorous screen image). Among the musical highlights: O'Connor's knockout "Make 'Em Laugh"; the big "Broadway Melody" production number; and, best of all, that charming little title ditty in which Kelly makes movie magic on a drenched set with nothing but a few puddles, a lamppost, and an umbrella. --Jim Emerson

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 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!

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.

Great, happy musical. Unforgettable Donald O'Connor dance sequence. Classic Gene Kelley. Enjoyable premise.
