LUNCH WITH BOOKS: Wheeling Film Society Conversation - Singin' in the Rain

LUNCH WITH BOOKS: Wheeling Film Society Conversation - Singin' in the Rain

(Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952) - 103 mins. 

One of the most beloved and influential musicals in Hollywood history turns 65 this year, but it is nowhere near “retirement.” Gene Kelly began making this film a mere six months after finishing An American in Paris and the reverberations of those landmark years in Kelly’s career were still vibrating in Damien Chazelle’s 2016 Oscar winner, La La Land.  Singin’ in the Rain would be noteworthy of discussion simply for its iconic routines, including the long surrealist “Broadway Ballet,” Donald O’Connor’s chiropractor-defying “Make ‘em Laugh,” and the title sequence, featuring a man and his (mostly useless) umbrella.

John Whitehead leads the conversation.
