(Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, US 1952, 103 min., 35mm)

What a glorious feeling! Shake off your blues in TechnicolorTM with one of MGM’s most popular musicals. In this playful jab at Hollywood, America’s silent-film sweethearts must make the transition to sound, sometimes with hilarious results. Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly head the superb cast, with slapstick comedic support from Donald O’Connor and Jean Hagen. The songs include “Make ‘Em Laugh,” “You Are My Lucky Star,” “Good Mornin’,” and, of course, Kelly’s memorable rendition of the title tune.
