I love it but have seen it so many times I’m a bit burned out. However, I NEVER fail to love the dancing and singing. Donald O’Conner, whom I met many years ago, was brilliant (“Make ‘em laugh”) and of course Gene Kelly was, as always, impeccable and beyond charming (though I thought he was a bit too old for Debbie Reynolds. This was Debbie first’s dancing role and she more than held her own with giants Kelly and O’Conner. But then, could she possibly have had two better teachers?
I always adore the moment when Jean Hagen first speaks. Always cracks me up.
Favorite song? “Singin’ in the Rain,” of course. That scene is CLASSIC.
