Decriptions

A movie that is said to be one of the best musicals ever to be shown on film was "Singin' In The Rain" starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor. Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (who has the most obnoxious voice) are anything but close. Lina is in love with Don, and Don wishes she would disappear. After another one of their movie premieres they go to their separate cars and drive off to the after party. With Don is his comedic companion, Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor). The car that they are driving gets a flat tire and Don is mobbed by fans. He makes his escape by jumping into the car in which he scares the woman. He later finds out her name is Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds). Once Kathy drops Don off at the party they meet up again when Don sees Kathy at the party. Kathy was performing with her musical group. The group sings the song "All I Do Is Dream Of You (The Whole Night Through). After the song, Don grabs Kathy and tries to talk to her but she resists. Finally Lina notices and walks over and once Kathy breaks free she grabs a cake and throws it at Don. Don sees it coming and ducks but once he ducks it hits Lina "right in the kisser" and gets Kathy fired.

Weeks pass and Don is trying to find her but it was like she disappeared into thin air. In his despair Cosmo tries to cheer him up when he sings a song called "Make 'Em Laugh". During the song he is running and jumping around the set for Don's new movie. Cosmo finds Kathy and quickly gets Don and they see her perform. She is in a skit called "Beautiful Girl". Afterwards Don and Kathy go out to lunch where Don expresses his feelings for Kathy in a romantic song called "You Were Meant For Me". The only other person who knows about this romance is Cosmo.

The new movie that Don and Lina are doing is not going to be a silent movie it will have actual sound, and Lina's voice is so horrible that when they preview the movie her voice makes people laugh and ridicule them. After the movie Kathy and Cosmo go to Don's house and figure out a way to save the film and studio. This meeting ends with the very popular song "Good Morning".The plan is to substitute Kathy's gorgeous singing and speaking voice for Lina's. When Don drops Kathy off at her house she kisses him goodnight and once she closes the door Don knows for a fact that he is in love with Kathy Seldon. As he is walking home he starts to sing one of the most famous songs, "Singin' In The Rain". The studio is desperate compared to the other studios who have already introduced successful 'talkies' (movies with sound) so they agree to the plan. The plan is hatched and then executed without Lina's knowledge. Some of the funniest sequences of the movie involve Kathy dubbing over Lina's voice.

Towards the end of the movie Lina finds out about Don and Kathy and she is livid. At the movie premiere Lina makes a speech and the audience was puzzled because of her horrible voice. So the audience scream for a song and so Lina sings "Singin' In The Rain" with Kathy backstage doing the singing. Then Don and Cosmo move the curtain and reveal the true singer Kathy. Lina is ruined and walks off stage. While Don is singing to Kathy the song called "You Are My Lucky Star". The movie ends with a billboard with a picture of Don and Kathy in their new movie called "Singin' In The Rain".
