7.《雨中曲》Singin' in the Rain
无声电影时代,演员的形体远远比声音重要。琳娜(简•哈根 Jean Hagen 饰)就是凭着讨好的外形,和唐(吉恩•凯利 Gene Kelly 饰)成为大受欢迎的明星搭档。然而,随着技术的发展,有声电影问世,这就难倒了声音及其难听的琳娜。无论如何训练,她都不能把台词念得漂亮。于是,唐请来了声音甜美的凯西(黛比•雷诺斯 Debbie Reynolds 饰),让她做琳娜音乐剧幕后的配音者,令琳娜的演出声名大振。而走红的琳娜更加目中无人。
唐经常与凯西、好友科斯莫(唐纳德•奥-康纳 Donald O'Connor 饰)合作无间,唐更与凯西擦出火花,两人相互倾慕。一场大雨给了唐无限的灵感。然而他如何让才艺俱佳的凯西得到应有的名誉和地位?
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.
