Singin' In The Rain Movie...TOMORROW!

So, apparently, it's the 60th anniversary of Singin' In The Rain. And I will not miss it! (The 70th anniversary of Casablanca was a few months ago. I went to see it and tickets sold out a few people ahead of me in line. Quel dommage).

For those who haven't seen it (and if you haven't, stop reading this right now and watch it) Singin' In The Rain is a musical starring Gene Kelly about the transistion from silent to talking pictures. Silent starts Don Lockwood (Kelly) and Lena Lamont (Jean Hagen) are making their first talking picture, but there's just one problem: Lena's voice. Enter Kathy Selden, a young starlet-wannabe (Debbie Reynolds) who is to dub for Lamont. Problem? Lena has a thing for Don (who can't stand her) and Don is in love with Kathy, who returns his feelings.

Featuring classical musical numbers such as "Good Morning",  "Moses Supposes", and "Singin' In The Rain", it is, in my opinion one of the 5 greatest American films ever made, (along with Gone With The Wind, Sunset Blvd, All About Eve, and It Happened One Night).

And the best part? It's playing in theaters tomorrow!
