Hysterical. I was honored to live next door to Donald O'Conner in the 1970's. He was gracious, charming and humble. He's an epic talent, and it makes me sad how much he is rapidly being forgotten in popular culture.

This is monumental. If you read the wikipedia articles on O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, it becomes obvious that the performances in this film were vastly more difficult to pull off than they appear, however impossible they appear. Reynolds reports that Gene Kelly pushed her beyond her capacity, to the point of physical injury and probably psychological as well (though she clearly admires and appreciates his direction more than any other's in her career), and O'Connor reports that the strain and injuries required hospitalization. It's monumental because however great it is, it is a documentation in every frame of artists forming a vision and doing anything required to bring it to life, going far beyond what a human should be able to do, talent and stamina transcending their limitations. They make it look exhilarating, smiling throughout, but they're pushing themselves like olympic athletes. And of course they strike pure gold.

@@americaforever he’s a muscularly heavy performer; he won’t have the “daintiness” of Fred Astaire, to be sure. Some approaches to dance go on a more athletic direction, and it’s a different effect and aesthetic. Kelly might well be a terrible ballroom dancer (o have no idea) at least relative to Astaire. But I bet Kelly could far outdo Astaire in more physically demanding ballet-type dancing.

I'm 29 and we watched Singing in the Rain in music class when I was in elementary school. My entire school did. I loved it. I live somewhere very cold and moved to Florida for a few years. I never got to play in the rain as a kid because it was too cold. The first thing I did during a rain storm in florida was throw on Singing in the Rain and dance through the puddles in front of my aparment. One of my favorite things I ever got to do. This musical is not fading away any time soon. I personally know over 1,000 kids in a small town that watched it in entirety. We're far from the only ones. And shows like Family Guy, (love or leave it) also will continue to introduce it to younger generations. I've seen a lot of comments from people who don't want this to be forgotten. You're in good hands, friends. It's still here

I saw this clip about 10 years ago when my parents showed me "That's Entertainment!", and it has stuck with me ever since. To me, this is the pinnacle of physical comedic humor and it sparked my love for old movies, I'm so happy I was exposed to these movies when I was so young!

It was thanks to this film that I got to stay up late, after seeing in New Year as a child for the first time. My Dad didn't realise I'd never seen it before and said I could watch it, because Donald was far & away the greatest part of it. To have his dance talent AND comic timing is a truly rare combination that few can say they possessed. Never fails to put a tear in my eye, purely out of genuine admiration. A genius who should be seen as Hollywood royalty

0:39 underrated part. Look how smooth that leap was, and how graceful the landing was lol. He didn't even accidentally slam his foot down on the keys

Kelly's rain shower number is one of the most iconic scenes in American film, and absolutely defines this movie. Having said that, O'Connor's tour-de-force here is perhaps the most entertaining piece of film ever produced by Hollywood. They don't make 'em like this anymore...

I have loved this scene since I saw it when I was a child. I still to this day don't think he ever got enough of the spot light for how ridiculously talented he was. He is my absolute favorite and is crazy talented from his acting, singing and dancing he is just another level. Such a legend ❤

He confirmed years later he was a chain smoker and smoked 4 packets a day while doing this.. incredible effort really.. doing this while not smoking would be exhausting enough for anyone.. still an absolute legendary sequence.. never got the recognition he deserved

Because sadly all that matters to the people who matter is cranking out more content and making money. :/ Artistic integrity, being life affirming, making connections with the human experience, making the audience feel a wid tapestry of emotion, and plain old having fun at the movies seems all but dead nowadays. 😢 If you're lucky you'll stumble into something that fits those criteria, but it feels fewer and far between now...

I had to watch Singing in the Rain for a class and it was amazing. Donalds blue eyes just pop in this movie. He is such a amazing actor. I wanted to laugh out loud when i was watching this but i didnt want to embarrass myself.
