'Singin' In The Rain at the Paramount

Truth be told I've seen Gene Kelly a bazillion times in the dance/song sequence while he's singin' in the rain  but I've never seen the entire film and it was absolutely wonderful.  The Paramount was filled with kids..tons of kids with their parents.  And they laughed their heads off at this film made in 1952 with Donald O'Connor offering stunts and facial grimaces and hysterical mimicking of characters.  None of the kids were disruptive, antsy in their seats or whining.  Proof that this is a fantastic film that hits it's mark.  I am not a lover of musicals or musicals on film.  But all of the dancing and singing  in this film  is meaningful and enhances the story.  Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor are multi-talented and not only do they dance and sing ...they can act.  This is surely a classical American film that should be held up as an example of a huge enterprise that enhanced the culture of filmmaking in America.  Just gorgeous!!!
