I love the small detail when Lina says "I can't stand him." Only the "can't" sounds refined; because that was the one thing that the diction coach excruciatingly worked endlessly on, she forgot to work on the rest!

[@Rotionu]

I believe that she couldn't stheend it any more and fainted, leaving her job unfinished. Actually Lina's story is kind of tragic because bunch of silent movie stars found themselves in the same situation - one moment you are a star and the next moment your career is over because you have a voice of a goat that nobody can't stheend.

It kinda makes you feel bad on account of silent actors having to deal with the new developments in technology and not being able to catch up quite as fast at times. It's not like silent movies were bad at all, but I can see where they'd struggle to appeal to the changes of public taste. That said this one scene alone is far funnier than 95% of "comedies" today.

We earlier saw Lina with her diction coach, Phoebe Dinsmore, who attempted to teach her to say "And I cahn't stahnd him", while Lina could only squeak out, "I ceean't steeand 'im".

[@slcRN1971]

I rarely like musicals but this one is exceptionally good! The whole industry from silent films to ‘talkies’ helped launch careers or end them. If a big strong looking male character has a high pitched voice, it really did make a huge difference. Also if a female character has a very irritatingly squeaky voice, not good. 😂

This film, along with Dr. Strangelove were the two films that I remember the most from my time in film school. In our class we would basically have an hour long lecture, then watch a full film twice a week. 95% of the time, half the class had slipped out by the time the movie reached the 30 minute mark, myself included unfortunately in some cases. But Singing in the Rain and Dr. Strangelove were totally different. The entire class loved Singing in the Rain. All of the jokes hit, people were cracking up, the hardcore film students were geeking out and grinning ear to ear during the scenes where the silent film crews are transitioning to their first film with sound, and a few people even clapped after some of the big dance numbers.

[@tankmaster1018]

This scene along with the actual filming of Dueling Cavalier in the movie had to be one of the most fun scenes a movie crew could ever possibly be in charge of shooting... The direction must have gone something like this "Okay guys, you know all of the worst mistakes you can make while filming a movie that would get you instantly fired under normal circumstances? You are going to do them on purpose, and do them to the Nth degree so that all of the people watching this who aren't familiar with movie production can still understand the "mistakes" the in-film crew and actors made. Alright cameraman, follow the two actors back and forth awkwardly, with no sense of rhythm and wiping your ass with the Rule Of Thirds. Sound guy? Pitch the male voices up way too high, and lower the pitch of the female voices, create glaringly obvious changes to the dialogue levels, and eventually slow it down to the point where it knocks the audio out of sync with the pictures. Producer? Walk into the set and accidentally grab a wire that's attached directly to an actress after misunderstanding its purpose. Director? Just keep doing what you're doing, bonus points if you can get frustrated enough to almost be in tears!"
