Many critics/moviegoers consider it one of the best musicals in movie history. Of course a lot of you probably just remember the song from "A Clockwork Orange". The 4K version of this film comes out April 26th. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Singin' in the Rain (1952) - 4 out of 4 stars"Perhaps the greatest movie musical of all time, fashioned by Betty Comden and Adolph Green from a catalogue of Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown songs. The setting is Hollywood during the transition to talkies, with Hagen giving the performance of a lifetime as Kelly's silent screen costar, whose voice could shatter glass. Kelly's title number, O'Connor's "Make 'Em Laugh," are just two highlights in a film packed with gems. Later a Broadway musical."

Not being a expert of Broadway history, I am nevertheless surprised that musicals based on Hollywood movies aren't just a thing from the 90's onward.

Such a great movie. I think even people who don't care for musicals tend to like it.

I’ve seen it once…thought it was ok. It didn’t blow me away but I can understand it being one of those films everyone should see at least once.
