Synopsis:

Don Lockwood is a popular silent film star. He is often paired with Lina Lamont, whom he can barely tolerate, though their studio links them romantically to increase their popularity. Lina would like the romance to be real, but Don has no interest. Meanwhile, Ms. Lamont’s career is in jeopardy with the advent of the studio’s first talkie. Her voice is a grating squeak, despite the help of an exasperated diction coach who has tried to teach her how to speak properly, but to no avail. Don’s chance meeting and subsequent romance with chorus girl, Kathy Selden, results in a big break for Kathy, as she is tapped to dub in the talking and singing for Ms. Lamont. The movie is a smash hit, and the true star is revealed when the audience clamors for Lina Lamont to sing live! Beloved songs include: “Good Morning,” “Make ‘em Laugh” and of course, “Singin’ in the Rain.”
