Wonderful movie, if you enjoy the musicals from the 50's. It's a humourous look at the movie business itself at the time sound was added to film. The dance scenes with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor are mind-blowing for their fast-pace choreography and athleticism. Some are just outright funny, too. Laugh out loud funny. Debbie Reynolds is fantastic, too, at just 18 years old. No cursing, no nudity, only good old-fashioned fun. There is one dance with Cyd Charesse (sp) where her legs look two miles long. Sensuous, but not overtly so, at least by today's standards. The second disc has two full length programs, one a collage of Paul Freed's work in the MGM Musicals. Very interesting with many scenes from old movies. A lot of Judy Garland singing and dancing. This is great to note other movies to watch in the future. The second show is a "Making SINGIN' IN THE RAIN", hosted by Debbie Reynolds. Insightful, particularly if you are a fan of this very popular film. Also, SITR used songs from past films, and there are several black and white scenes from the films where the songs originated. Super stuff and captivating. Of course, the first disc has the film itself. You must get this set if you love musicals and clean movie entertainment.Read full review
One of the best musicals ever written. The music numbers are top-rate and it is spectacular to watch, but the overall story makes this a special movie. It has a total entertainment factor that will bring you back to watch it again and again.

This movie is excellent. It's the iconic American musical, and it's definitely one of the films you just have to see. The music, the dancing, the lights, the glam, it's all here. It's all you could want in a musical romantic comedy. This two-disc special edition is definitely worth the money. Not only do you get the fantastic film in stunning picture and sound quality, but you also get a disc filled with hours of special features that show you how this gem came to be.
This is the classic song and dance movie out of just a few in the world made back in the day that was worth watching and men and women dancers so talented that the show *So you think you can dance* would not be in the line if these kind of dancers was still around. God bless all those that appreciate the good ole' song and dance routine. Gene Kelly is especially excellent in this movie as he was in others but not like this. Fred Astaire was as inventive also but not quite with the flair of tapping that Gene was very capable of. So if you enjoy a good feeling movie and into actual *Talent* in a movie and go to bed with good feeling this is the movie to watch..Of course the acting is a little cheesie but these were song and dance movies not acting films. If you want song and dance with acting i would suggest Bing and family. South Pacific is another good one(the Mitzi Gaynor version),she was a doll back in her day and could act and sing. But singing in the rain is in a league of it's own. If you don't own it you should..By the way i play guitar and i play progressive rock like steve vai,malmsteen and such so if you think a rocker can't have class,well you just read it.Read full review
One of the greatest movies ever made. If you value classic musicals mixed with comedy, you have to have it. Chances are you already do. Amazing talent on display. The extra disc about the making of the film is interesting too.
