About Singin' In the Rain
Gold standard musical about the advent of sound in the film industry.
Part of our Movies About Movies season. Hollywood has always been obsessed with itself - almost as soon as there were movies, there were movies about movies. Sometimes satirical, often playful, this selection includes films from Billy Wilder, Paul Thomas Anderson, Gene Kelly and Tim Burton.

About the film
A silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood. An absolute delight for the senses - including classic songs Make 'em Laugh, You Were Meant For Me, Good Morning and, of course, Singin' In The Rain.
BBFC Insight: very mild comic violence

Singin’ overflows with the pleasure of movie creation.
Still the wittiest of all the MGM musicals of the 1940s and '50s.
