The Great Singin' in the Rain at SIFF Cinema

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN
(Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, USA, 1952, 103 minutes)

Right: Fakin' it like Milli Vanilli.

This weekend, SIFF is showing one of the few musicals I like: the 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain. In fact, I more than like it--I adore it--and not just for Gene Kelly's fancy footwork. It's the fresh innocence of Debbie Reynolds VS. the snooty venom of Jean Hagen that really pulls me in. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend - and if you have, well, you need to see it again.

In addition to this film being absolutely fantastic, SIFF is offering free admission to this screening with a cash donation and/or donation of canned or non-perishable food items, which will benefit the White Center Food Bank.

Singin' in the Rain plays tomorrow, Sat Dec 13 at 10am at SIFF Cinema. Don't miss it! Head over with your donations...
