Treat yourself to a day after Christmas Gene Kelly "All dancing, All singing," double feature. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, 1952, Warner Bros., 103 min. Dirs. Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. Gene Kelly shines as silent movie idol Don Lockwood, whose career is imperiled by the coming of sound - until he hooks up with lovely ingenue Debbie Reynolds. Supporting cast players Donald O’Connor and Cyd Charisse also shine in brilliantly-choreographed musical numbers, with Charisse’s "Broadway Melody" ballet. Kelly's famous "Singin' in the Rain" number will look exceptionally plausible after all the real rain pouring over the Southland of late. Grab your umbrella.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, 1951, Warner Bros., 115 min. Director Vincente Minnelli’s most popular musical and 1951’s Oscar Best Picture winner features irrepressible Gene Kelly as a struggling-to-make-it painter in Paris, caught between the romantic aspirations of a wealthy patron (Nina Foch) and his true love, the young Leslie Caron. Kelly sings, dances and cracks wise with his smart-aleck buddy, pianist Oscar Levant, while trying to decide what to do. Also received Academy Awards for Screenplay, Score, Cinematography and Art Direction.
