Now digitally re-mastered, this beloved musical should only ever be seen on the big screen. It’s not just a song-and-dance piece starring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, and a sprightly Debbie Reynolds; it’s also an affectionately funny insider spoof about the film industry’s uneasy transition from silent pictures to “talkies.” Among the musical highlights: the knockout “Make 'Em Laugh”; the big “Broadway Melody” number; and Kelly’s stunning bit of magic on a drenched set. One of the prime inspirations for La La Land, it is also a fitting tribute to the late Debbie Reynolds. D: Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly, US, 1952, 1h43m
