Singin’ In The Rain, the definitive movie musical, scripted by the freakishly prolific and much-feted screenwriting duo of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, premieres at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Directed and choreographed by Stanley Donan and Gene Kelly, the film is set in late 1920s Hollywood during the industry’s transition from silent movies to “talkies”. Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds star as the ebullient dancing trio looking to embrace the new technology with a spectacular musical production. A certified classic immortalized by Kelly’s eponymous, show-stopping song and dance sequence.
