Sinopsis: Antes de conocer a la aspirante a actriz Cathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds), el ídolo del cine mudo Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) pensaba que lo tenía todo; fama, fortuna y éxito. Pero, tras conocerla, se da cuenta de que ella es lo que realmente faltaba en su vida. Con el nacimiento del cine sonoro, Don quiere filmar los musicales con Kathy, pero entre ambos se interpone la reina del cine mudo Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). (FILMAFFINITY)

¿El mejor musical del cine? Puede. En cualquier caso, Singin' in the Rain tiene algunos de los bailes más maravillosos y cinematográficos de la historia del séptimo arte; Gene Kelly canta enamorado bajo la lluvia... y el mundo se detiene. Genial y vitalista, una imperecedera obra maestra. (Pablo Kurt: FILMAFFINITY)

Simplemente perfecta. Lo más admirable es que su acumulación de números musicales (que aislados son magistrales) resulte una unidad coherente y fluida (...) Una obra maestra (Francisco Marinero: Diario El Mundo)
Gene Kelly y Stanley Donen consiguen el que sin duda es el musical más famoso de la historia del cine. El film es una amable parodia del impacto que supuso en la industria cinematográfica el tránsito del cine mudo al cine sonoro. Y así nos narra los problemas que surgen en la elaboración de una película cuya protagonista principal, la diva Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), resulta tener una voz aflautada.
Este pretexto argumental sirve de hilo a una serie de inolvidables actuaciones musicales. Baste destacar el número que da título al film, interpretado por Gene Kelly, o el número cómico de Donald O'Connor "Make Em Laugh". Debbie Reynolds y Cyd Charisse destacan también con luz propia en este maravilloso espectáculo de amor, música y baile. La película, curiosamente, sólo obtuvo dos nominaciones al Oscar en las categorías de mejor actriz secundaria y mejor adaptación musical (DeCine21).

AMG Synopsis: Hollywood, 1927: the silent-film romantic team of Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) is the toast of Tinseltown. While Lockwood and Lamont personify smoldering passions onscreen, in real life the down-to-earth Lockwood can't stand the egotistical, brainless Lina. He prefers the company of aspiring actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), whom he met while escaping his screaming fans. Watching these intrigues from the sidelines is Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor), Don's best pal and on-set pianist. Cosmo is promoted to musical director of Monumental Pictures by studio head R.F. Simpson (Millard Mitchell) when the talking-picture revolution commences. That's all right for Cosmo, but how will talkies affect the upcoming Lockwood-Lamont vehicle "The Dueling Cavalier"? Don, an accomplished song-and-dance man, should have no trouble adapting to the microphone. Lina, however, is another matter; put as charitably as possible, she has a voice that sounds like fingernails on a blackboard. The disastrous preview of the team's first talkie has the audience howling with derisive laughter. On the strength of the plot alone, concocted by the matchless writing team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Singin' in the Rain is a delight. But with the addition of MGM's catalog of Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown songs -- "You Were Meant for Me," "You Are My Lucky Star," "The Broadway Melody," and of course the title song -- the film becomes one of the greatest Hollywood musicals ever made.
AMG Review: Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain is usually lumped together with the other MGM "songbook" musicals of its era, An American in Paris and The Band Wagon. In contrast to those two outstanding works of music and motion, however, Singin' in the Rain had an additional layer of importance and appeal as one of Hollywood's relatively rare feature films about itself. The Arthur Freed/Nacio Herb Brown songbook is on one level the center of the movie, but it's also a backdrop for a humorous and delightfully stylized look back at the crisis that engulfed the movie mecca and its inhabitants once synchronized sound came to films. The musical was made in 1952, only 25 years after the beginning of the series of events depicted and satirized in the script, so recent in time that there were still plenty of old studio hands (including sound department head Douglas Shearer) who had firsthand memories of the actual events. The fit was natural for the music, too, since Freed and Brown had been on hand (and even onscreen) for the arrival of sound to MGM in 1929.
The film is full of delightful in-jokes about its subject and the people who lived through the era: Jean Hagen's Lina Lamont is a burlesque of silent-movie sex symbol Clara Bow, whose decidedly urban style of diction never really fit her image or what the public wanted, while Millard Mitchell's R.F. Simpson was a gently jocular satire of Freed himself, who could never quite visualize the elaborate musical numbers whose scripts and budgets he was approving as producer. Donald O'Connor's Cosmo Brown was an onscreen stand-in for men like Franz Waxman and dozens of other musicians, who moved from writing arrangements or conducting the major theater orchestras to heading the music departments of the studios. The resulting musical, in addition to offering a brace of memorable songs and performances (with a startlingly sultry featured spot for Cyd Charisse in the "Broadway Melody" sequence, as a bonus), gave audiences a short-course pop-history lesson about how the movies learned to talk, sing, and dance.
