Singing in the Rain Classic Old Movies
Singing in the Rain Classic Old Movies Review.
My favorite review of the "Singing in the Rain" movie was by a man named Michael O'Connor.
I have never met Mr. O'Connor but he said it best and echoed my thoughts as I read his review.
"To my mind, the most magical sequence EVER filmed was Gene Kelly's inspiring dance in the rain from "Singing in the Rain."
Though you knew it was "just" a dance sequence by a talented hoofer in a movie, Kelly's joyful, masterful performance convinced you that, here indeed, was a man who had just fallen in love.
Every gesture, every step brimmed with seemingly spontaneous exuberance and goodwill. When he swung from the lamppost and that huge smile spread across his face, you just knew magic was in the air."
This is a fun movie for me because of the great song and dance routines, but I especially enjoyed the choreography on this song.
The video below is a perfect example of Gene Kelly's amazing dance talent.
How can you watch this and not smile?

Lyrics - Arthur Freed
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...
I'm singin' in the rain...Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feelin'...I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds...So dark up above
The sun's in my heart...And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase...Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain...I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane...With a happy refrain
just singin'...singin' in the rain
dancin' in the rain...
Im happy again...
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain...
