Singin' in the Rain	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A classic 1952 Musical film from MGM, Singin' in the Rain happened when the legendary team of Comden and Green were given the keys to the studio's music vaults and told to pound out a script based on what they found inside.note The only totally original song in the film is the novelty number "Moses Supposes". "Make 'em Laugh" is generally considered a rip-off of Cole Porter's "Be a Clown", though he never complained.The result, co-directed and choreographed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, is a frothy but sledgehammer-accurate comedy set during the transition from silent film to talkies — a period of major upheaval in the movie industry, as stars learned to cope with the novel concept of 'talking' and all its attendant requirements. Chief among them being, of course, that now they had to act.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Don Lockwood (Kelly) is the current king of silent Hollywood, one-half (or perhaps three-quarters) of the A-list team Lockwood & Lamont. His "partner" is Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), a bottle-blonde, bubble-brained diva whose ego has long since turned Don off any thought of carrying their romance off-screen... not that he can convince Lina of that.In the main, however, Don's the George Clooney of his day: rich, debonair, enjoying the perks of celebrity life to the hilt. Loyally at his side at all times is his lifelong best buddy and current studio musician Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor), who is just tactful enough to keep quiet about the duo's past as a failed vaudeville act.Then, fleeing a mob of fans one night, Don's rescued by self-described "serious actress" Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds). She not only proves immune to his movie star charms but accuses him of having no artistic substance whatsoever: "just a lot of dumb show!" Don is incensed, but her words prove prophetic with the startling acclaim for The Jazz Singer. The studio abruptly (as in mid-take) decides to make the current Lockwood & Lamont picture a "talkie" too.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Cue frantic — and cringe-worthy — attempts on everyone's part to come to grips with the new technical requirements. Unfortunately, no technology in the world can remedy Lina's voice, a shrill Brooklyn screech completely at odds with her silent image as a refined leading lady.Faced with utter ruin when the now wildly-anachronistic Dueling Cavalier is hooted down at a test screening, Don, Cosmo and Kathy cook up a plan so stupid it just might work: convert the whole mess into a fantasy musical. Of course, Don's co-star can't sing any better than she can speak. Thus, inspired by a synchronization accident during the screening, Cosmo also invents dubbing, and arranges for Kathy to secretly record all of Lina's songs and dialogue. Inevitably, Lina discovers the ruse—and is suddenly threatening to ruin everyone's careers and potentially seize the studio. Maybe she's not as dumb as she looks...Will Kathy be forced to give up her dreams? Or will the power of True Love win out over studio greed? And will Cosmo ever get to "start suffering and write that symphony"?

In the montage for the new talkies, one of the singers is a Rudy Vallee impersonator. Olga Mara is an amalgam of Pola Negri and Theda Bara; Zelda Zanders is a cross between Clara Bow and early career Joan Crawford.

Singin' in the Rain / int_171ef47c	comment	Not-So-Harmless Villain: Everyone spends the first three-quarters of the film mocking and dismissing Lina for being "dumb, or something." In the final act of the film, however, she proves cunning enough to hire a lawyer to Read the Fine Print of her contract and exploit a loophole that says she's allowed to control her own publicity: she gives interviews to multiple major newspapers making big claims about her singing and dancing prowess, smugly pointing out to R.F. that if the studio publicists attempt to contradict her to the media, it would infringe on her right to manage her publicity and she can sue. She uses this to blackmail R.F. into removing Kathy from the credits and force her to keep working as Lina's (uncredited) voice for the rest of her five-year contract. Thankfully, she doesn't quite think the whole thing through.

Singin' in the Rain / int_192853e5	comment	Repetitive Audio Glitch: At the preview showing of The Dueling Cavalier, a mishap causes the film to lose sync with the soundtrack (early sound films had the soundtrack on a phonograph record; they switched to printing the track directly on the film to avoid this very thing), leading to a scene where the villain and the Distressed Damsel speak each other's lines. This becomes a plot point, as it leads to the idea of having Kathy dub over Lina's nails-on-a-chalkboard voice.

Singin' in the Rain / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Lina wants to give a speech but Don subtly stops her... and then we later see she's got a screechy voice. Lina's diction lessons set up for the "and I can't stannim!" line from the movie premiere. Likewise, her difficulty addressing the mic directly sets up for the same thing happening in the movie premiere. Don throwing his cane away as the scene is filmed silently sets up for him doing the same thing to a loud clatter in the talkie version. A deleted scene featuring Kathy Seldon singing "You Are My Lucky Star" to a billboard of Don Lockwood sets up for both Don singing that song to her at the climax, and of a billboard featuring both Don and Kathy shown at the very end.

Singin' in the Rain / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The film takes place in the late 1920s at the very start of the sound era, however the "Beautiful Girl" segment, supposedly being shot for a movie of the era, is technologically too advanced for what was possible at the time (compare the real-life film of the era, The Broadway Melody). The closing musical segment is also supposed to theoretically be part of a film within the film, however it too is far more advanced than would have been possible in the late 1920s, however it is presented as a fantasy sequence, so does not necessarily count as an anachronism.

What critics had to write about Bette Davis's leading performance resembled the movie's put-down of its fictional actress.

However along with the people you would expect (Kelly, O’Conner, Reynolds, Hagen, Mitchell) they had Cyd Charisse. She was in the movie for less than 3 minutes as Kelly’s dance partner during a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment (which was inside another Big-Lipped Alligator Moment). The strange thing is that Charisse was not a star yet it probably would not have made a difference whether people saw the movie or not. You could chalk it up to fanservice.

So Jean Hagen dubs Debbie Reynolds dubbing Jean Hagen. Not only that, but in the songs "Would You" and "You Are My Lucky Star", Reynolds (and by extension, Kathy's voice coming out of Lina's mouth) is actually dubbed by Betty Noyes (although not because Reynolds' voice was no good), which is ironic, considering the premise of the movie.

Lina's dress in The Dueling Cavalier fits the mold of 18th century dresses, being covered with frills and flowers (which isn't that far off from the real dresses of that time, except they were even more decorated).

Singin' in the Rain / int_f818b637	comment	Dude, Where's My Respect?: Poor Cosmo. Despite being Heterosexual Life-Partners with Don, helping him rise to stardom and playing the piano for the movies, he is frequently (and literally!) pushed aside for Don in terms of fame. He's usually a good sport about it, although he does Lampshade this when he comes up with the plan to have Kathy dub for Lina to save The Dueling Cavalier.

"Make love" used to mean having a private, romantic conversation. Don also assures Kathy that he isn't going to molest her. "Molest" used to mean something closer to "bother" or "aggravate" than anything sexual.

Singin' in the Rain / int_fb732731	comment	Film Within a Film: The movie starts off at the premiere of Don's and Lina's fictional The Royal Rascal. The footage shown is actually from a real film called The Three Musketeers (1948) starring Gene Kelly - which is in color and has sound. The movie depicts the troubles in making the fictional movie The Duelling Cavalier, later changed to The Dancing Cavalier.invoked Two real-life movies are being referenced. The Jazz Singer (the first talkie) is mentioned. And in the final shot we see a billboard advertising Don Lockwood and Kathy Seldon, in a picture called...wait for it...Singin' in the Rain.
