Thank you Dan! I have always loved this movie and indeed it is a perfect reason to smile. Actually, since I'm now smiling I want to say that this Steady community helps sustain me. Thank you to you and to all members.
I love this movie so much that my daughter gave me the 60th anniversary Collectors' Edition box set - the BlueRay DVD, a book about the movie's making, copies of the 1952 lobby door panels and a Singin' in the Rain umbrella. Happy Sunday! Happy Monday eclipse!
This is my "sunshine" (ha!) movie! Having a bad week? Friday night movie with popcorn is this movie. I had no idea the story behind this number. No one would ever have guessed her to be a novice.
One of my favorite dance scenes from a movie! Thanks for reminding us of all the hard work that goes into making something like this look so effortless and joyful.
Thanks for reminding us of this wonderful musical, possibly the GOAT of the genre. Every song is a classic and so is every performance. Even the costumes have stood the test of time.
I have loved this movie for a long, long time, and this number is incomparable. I had heard that Gene Kelly was tough on her--and I have loved him forever, so was sorry to hear this--but look at the results! Magic. Thank you for the backstory--fascinating.

My favorite movie, and a perfect reason to smile! Thank you, Dan. I think I’ll rewatch the movie today. “Make ‘em Laugh” is a smile-maker as well.
I can’t imagine the courage it took for Debbie Reynolds to take that on at 19! So much respect!

Definitely the best movie musical of all time! Impossible to imagine a nineteen year old with no dance background giving the performance she did.
Awesome movie and scene. Donold O'Connor stole that movie. My favorite number in that movie was actually Moses Supposes. .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPBKYwJo3nQ
…and she did it in heels. Thank you A wonderful way to start the day.
Thank you Dan. These stories lift my spirit.

Thanks Dan. One of my favorite movies, Gene Kelly is definitely my favorite all time dancer.
Dan, you amaze me with your wide interests and knowledge in life. You are a treasure.
