Singin' in the Rain/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Donald O'Connor running up and backflipping off the walls at the end of "Make 'Em Laugh". It's so amazing that years later martial arts films turned it into a combat move.
  • Some of the other song & dance numbers, like "Moses Supposes" or "Good Morning", considering how intricate they are and how few cuts are used.
    • Moses Supposes is two takes.
  • What happens at the end, when Lina's voice is revealed as a fraud.
  • Near the end of the "Broadway Melody" sequence, we see Gene's character sulking after being rejected by his crush, again. Suddenly we hear a voice sing the exact same thing he did at the beginning. Then the two look at each other for a moment, the hoofer just shrugs and walks off. But Don's character has an epiphany and sings.
  • Gene Kelly did the iconic title number with a 100+ degree fever. He also measured each puddle to make sure that the kicks felt right.
