“Singin’ In the Rain,” a 1952 American musical, is an entertaining mix of romance and comedy.
Two popular silent movie stars, Don and Lina, are forced to make the transition to “talkies,” and everyone has trouble with the change, but most of all Lina, the female lead who cannot sing.
Along comes Kathy, who wishes to be an actress and adds to the complications.
