Favorite Movie #16: Singin’ in the Rain

Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #16 - Singin’ in the Rain (1952) - I will always like Fred Astaire, but Gene Kelly ... so sexy, so talented. This is his masterpiece. The title number. The Hollywood silent movies to talkies backdrop. The amazing cast, songs, dance numbers. The fine art-inspired set design. The dialog. I could go on and on ...

[After filming a love scene] 

Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen): Oh Donny! You couldn't kiss me like that and not mean it just a teensy bit! 

Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly): Meet the greatest actor in the world! I'd rather kiss a tarantula. 

Lina: You don't mean that. 

Don: I don't - Hey Joe, get me a tarantula!
