  • "The seemingly eternal freshness of Singin' in the Rain may be the result of an unusual degree of improvisation involved in its making. More than most musicals this was a team effort - a coming together of talents striving to overcome the limitations that they saw in the material and given space in which to move. In the process they not only produced one of the finest of movie musicals but also one of the best Hollywood-on-Hollywood movies - an intelligent and affectionate satire on the coming of synchronised sound. It is also a high point of what Richard Dyer calls the Utopian musical of the fifties which erased the distinction between the narrative and the musical numbers, the ultimate management of the contradiction between realism and fantasy inherent in the genre."@en

Hasta llegar a triunfar en Hollywood ha llevado un largo camino en compañía de su íntimo amigo Cosmo Brown. Ahora forma con Lina Lamont, una bella no tan tonta como parece, pero bastante turbia en sus intenciones, la pareja de moda de los estudios cinematográficos que dirige R.F. Simpson. Tras uno de los estrenos, Don conoce a Kathy Selden, una actriz de teatro aún desconocida, que primero menosprecia el arte del cine y luego sale de una tarta y resulta ser una de las bailarinas del coro que va a la fiesta. Don y Kathy se enamoran. Paralelamente, se ha producido un terremoto en la industria cinematográfica: el cine sonoro llega arrasando. El público quiere más y hay que reconvertir la última película de Lockwood y Lamont en musical, lo que no sería problema... si no resultara que Lina Lamont tiene una voz de rata completamente inservible para el cine."--Wikipedia."
