Exclusive“Singin’ in the Rain” (1952): First Movie Musical

If you love singing, dancing, and flashy musical numbers, where can you find enjoyable entertainment? You don’t have to buy a ticket to New York City to catch a Broadway show if you want to see a musical tribute to the Jazz Age. Hollywood abandoned the movie musical decades ago, but the Golden Era of films is a musical treasure trove. There’s no better introduction to classic films for a musical fan than “Singin’ in the Rain” (1952). This movie tops every list of the best films of all time for a reason. It features an unforgettable array of standard tunes, performed by an all-star musical cast. While some old movies can seem unapproachable because of their references to culture of the day, “Singin’ in the Rain” is set in the Roaring Twenties, so it was a period piece when first released! Sister film historians Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan analyze the music and magic in this Gene Kelly masterpiece to reveal why it’s an enduring classic. #movies #talk shows #classic films #American traditions #Hollywood #showbiz #theater #cinema #entertainment #celebrity #famous #actors #drama #motion picture
