7.《雨中曲》Singin' in the Rain
無聲電影時代,演員的形體遠遠比聲音重要。琳娜(簡•哈根 Jean Hagen 飾)就是憑著討好的外形,和唐(吉恩•凱利 Gene Kelly 飾)成為大受歡迎的明星搭檔。然而,隨著技術的發展,有聲電影問世,這就難倒了聲音及其難聽的琳娜。無論如何訓練,她都不能把臺詞念得漂亮。于是,唐請來了聲音甜美的凱西(黛比•雷諾斯 Debbie Reynolds 飾),讓她做琳娜音樂劇幕后的配音者,令琳娜的演出聲名大振。而走紅的琳娜更加目中無人。
唐經常與凱西、好友科斯莫(唐納德•奧-康納 Donald O'Connor 飾)合作無間,唐更與凱西擦出火花,兩人相互傾慕。一場大雨給了唐無限的靈感。然而他如何讓才藝俱佳的凱西得到應有的名譽和地位?
Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 American comedy musical film starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds and directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, with Kelly also providing the choreography. It offers a comic depiction of Hollywood, and its transition from silent films to "talkies."
Although it was not a big hit when first released, it was accorded its legendary status by contemporary critics. It is now frequently described as one of the best musicals ever made, topping the AFI's 100 Years of Musicals list, and ranking fifth in its updated list of the greatest American films in 2007.
