A true gem that anyone at any age can enjoy. From it's incomperable dance numbers (particularly Donald O'Conner's ";make em laugh"; number) to Gene Kellysoverall pure dancing ability and the beautiful voice of Debbie Reynolds, this is truly the classic of all time. Children will laugh at the antics while others will find themselves frozen with each dance step and every musical number.It is simply pure entertainment. Was this review helpful?

Don Lockwood and Lena LaMont are the romantic idols of the 20's and are in the midst of a career apex when 'The Jazz Singer' bursts into history and comes very close to putting them both out to pasture. But Don meets an over zealous newcomer named Cathy Selden who still postulates the value of theatrical acting over screen mime and despite his skepticism; her scenario is brought ruefully home by technology. After some initial friction from odd jobs, Cathy finds herself at Monumental Pictures alongside Lockwood and LaMont, and sets her sights squarely on her goal. But Lena and the microphone are NOT getting along and she finds other things to sidetrack Cathy away from the limelight and from Don. Of the many wonderful highlights in this film is O'Connor's amazing energy performing ";Make 'Em Laugh";; the simple elegance of Kelly's staging in ";You Were Meant For Me"; as well as a raft of hits like ";Fit As A Fiddle";, ";Good Morning";, ";Gotta Dance"; with the very sultry Cyd Charisse (Kelly's favorite partner) and the title number forever immortalized by one of the greatest talents this business ever had.

The story line and settings were masterfully done and the music score was perfection climaxing with Gene gaylly walking down a mid-town Manhatten alley in the pouring rain singing the main title when an officer confronts him and Don just proceds to make it seem it was the only natural thing to do at the time.I found the entire movie very well done and entertaing and it will always be at the top of my list of all-time favorite movies.

So, Don's girlfriend, Kathy, sings for Lina and talks for her too. But Lina gets all the credit. How will Don's friend, the brilliant ";Cosmo,"; figure this one out? Was this review helpful?
