    Talking pictures burst suddenly upon Hollywood in the late ' 20s , causing pandemonium . M - G - M seized upon the tide by creating the first all - singing , all - talking , all - dancing musical , The Broadway Melody . The studio quickly followed up with another musical , this one featuring cameo appearances by every star on the Metro lot except Garbo . The Hollywood Revue Of 1929 included a new Arthur Freed / Nacio Herb Brown tune that became a huge hit Originally introduced by Cliff " Ukulele Ike " Edwards , the song " Singin ' In The Rain " and the period from which it derived later inspired what most folks consider the greatest musical film of all time . Gene Kelly costarred with Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor in an original Betty Comden and Adolph Green screenplay spoofing the onslaught of talkies on Hollywood . The signature moment in the picture was a simple song and dance to the title song , which defined Gene Kelly's screen persona forever . The now legendary sequence where Gene danced in the rain was not only a testament to his genius as star , cochoreographer , and codirector , but also to his undeniable fortitude ; he performed the number soaking wet and with a fever of 103 degrees ! After all , the show must go on !

    Leslie Caron is in 00:22, 01:38 and she faints in 01:52. She was Gene Kelly's opposite in his previous movie "An American in Paris" and this was a joke to put her to receive his flying kiss right at the beginning of his next movie. There is a picture of "Leslie Caron visits Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor on the set of Singin’ in the Rain (1952)". She was one of those who were considered for the role of Kathy Selden.

    These actors are great but do you know who is greater? Jesus. He is selfless and loving. He died for everyone's sins, past, present, and future. Be careful when watching these films. We mustn't make these people our idols. Exodus 20:3-5 says "You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens on earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods." Not only that, but the end times are here. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" This is merely to inform people, not to attack them. God bless.
