starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds with Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell, Cyd Charisse
The song-and-dance man who becomes first a stunt man and then a musical star was a role tailor-made for Gene Kelly in this satirical, tuneful and affectionate story of Holly-wood grappling with the problem of 'talkies'. The songs include 'All I Do is Dream of You', 'Make 'em Laugh', 'You are my Lucky Star', and, of course, the title song.
