Any movie starring Gene Kelly is synonymous with delightfulness. Singin' in the Rain is a brilliant look at the awkward transition from silent film to the sound era. It’s a Broadway show rendered on the big screen - never in any movie musical has there been such complex choreography numbers with exuberance pouring out of each and every scene (just look at Donald O’Connor in the make em’ laugh number if you need any proof).

Singin’ in the Rain has something for everyone. It’s not just a visual feast for its costumes and set designs, it’s a timeless comedy with a snappy script and witty dialogue. The leading cast have vibrant personalities to get you captivated in the narrative.

The soundtrack is brilliant and varied, from the upbeat “Broadway Rhythm Ballet” arrangment to the graceful “You were meant for me” sequence. It’s a fantastic viewing from start to finish and will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
