010 Singin' in the Rain

This film is a delightful romp. I love watching it over and over again. I was horrified to learn that Gene Kelly was an absolute brute to work for. He yelled all the time, but if he ever yelled at Debbie Reynolds, she would be reduced to tears and run off to her trailer, so he always yelled at Donald O'Conner instead. I love Donald O'Conner's number: "Make 'Em Laugh." It exhausting just watching him. "Moses Toeses" is a surprisingly catchy tune, but "Good Morning" is probably my favorite. I love it when the three of them tip the couch over. They look like the best of friends.
