Singin' in the Rain

Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 American musical romantic comedy film. It offers a lighthearted depiction of Hollywood in the late 1920s, with the three stars portraying performers caught up in the transition from silent films to "talkies". Yes, cameras were housed in soundproof booths, and microphones were almost hidden in plain sight. And preview audiences did laugh when they heard the voices of some famous stars for the first time. The film opens and closes with sneak previews, has scenes on sound stages and in dubbing studios, and shows children how studios manufactured romances between their stars.


When it was first released, the film was only a minor success. O'Connor received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, Betty Comden and AdolphGreen received the Writers Guild of America Award for their screenplay, and Jean Hagen was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, it topped the AFI's list of the Greatest Movie Musicals and is ranked as the fifth-greatest American motion picture of all time in the AFI's 2007 list of the greatest American films.


Singin' in the Rain was one of the first 25 films chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress in 1989 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The British Film Institute included it in its list of 50 films to see by the age of 14 in 2005. Empire magazine ranked it as the eighth-best film of all time in 2008. Singin' in the Rain was ranked 20th on Sight & Sound magazine's list of the 50 greatest films of all time in 2012.
