I was positive (but not certain, so it doesn't count) that I had seen Singin' in the Rain before getting into it tonight, but after watching it, I definitely had not. I'm not a huge musical guy, but I'm open minded and will always give a movie a chance.
Synopsis: A famous silent movie actor has to learn how to adapt to the talkies... what are talkies you ask? Look it up.
Singin' in the Rain fun and light, definitely an engaging musical starring highly competent entertainers. I liked the film over all and thought it was one of the best musicals I have seen (that's not saying much.) The "Make Em Laugh" montage by the sidekick guy was really awkward but the "Gotta Dance/Broadway Rhythm " number was incredibly awesome, especially the lights and stage set ups. Considering the timeframe in which this came to fruition, it's no surprise why it was so influential. Oh yeah... almost forgot... this scene gets the film an extra Arnold... I loved it.
