@@kittycattt93 Debbie Reynolds was amazing in this song and dance number considering what she went through. She indeed had no dancing experience, but ended up looking like she had been dancing for years, up against two of the best dancers in movie history in Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. An amazing performance on all of their parts. My favorite number of one of my favorite movies. My second favorite number is O'Connor doing "Make Them Laugh." He was a dancer and an athlete. I think that was the first recorded example of a dancer dancing up a wall!
Just like what Madonna said or sang in Vogue, dancers back in those days like Kelly, Rogers, Astaire and the beautiful Miss Debbie Reynolds DANCED ON AIR!!
@@trublucoltfan If training and direction is powerful enough natural talent is not needed. Many highly accomplished actors generally were not talented - merely well-trained and later very experienced in their craft. Of course there are cases of highly talented actors as well, but I think training and direction is more important than talent.
In Director's Cut of "Singin' in the Rain", directors and actors said that little Miss Debbie Reynolds was only 17. Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor were dancing phenoms, and Debbie would be in tears with all of the harsh practices!!! She had been a gymnast and had only had a little bit of tap experience. She worked long, hard hours practicing, and I love her for it!!!!! This entire movie ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
@@isaacwhite9255 Oh wow. I can see how that would be funny now and not then. :) I wonder, if that happened a lot, did you catch on and maybe were prepared for the next time she woke you up?
+Yotto O. Too $$$, and not enough audience, generational gap, the onlyappreciation that pays for this anymore, is on Broadway, even that haschanged, and lack of dance appreciation, again different standards.
They just made La La Land! That film made me so happy. It brought back the movie musical. Sadly, most of the audience members were old-timers anyhow, but the stars were popular with the young folks, so maybe it will get more popular
RIP Debbie Reynolds and happy early 65th anniversary to a colorful and glorious classic musical! It must have been so beautiful for her to dance with Gene and Donald.
My grandmother was a huge fan of musicals, this one in particular. She just passed on Sunday, but this video will always have a place in my heart beside her.
I know exactly how you feel, but my grandmother was more into Tom Waits and other wierd songs like that. I am sorry for your loss and I want to let you know that the pain never leaves but it won't be so bad.
@@SundaeExpress You can check. She was dubbed for "Singing in the rain", "Would you" and "You are my lucky star". But on this one it is Debbie's voice, easy to recognize anyway.
Debbie Reynolds said that Gene Kelly was a demanding perfectionist, often berating her for not keeping up. They rehearsed so much that her feet bled at night. But all the discipline paid off. What an incredible number. The Freed Unit at it's finest.
And I read on fb about this scene that because Gene Kelly was such a perfectionist he made Debbie, Donald as well as himself go thru 40 takes before he was satisfied. Can you imagine going thru this scene 40 times just because he wasn't satisfied with the very end of the number because it was the very end where they tip over the couch and fall on it that he wanted that one particular part done just right.
Zedwoman Well, just because you don't believe in life after death doesn't mean everyone else does too. Until you become an expert on what happens to a person after they die, kindly keep off others comments.
You don't believe in it and I don't either. However, other people can believe what they want to when it does not harm you one bit. This isn't a time for you to say WELL I BELIEVE BLAH. That goes for Kenneth Smith, too. It isn't about either of you (or me).
The male lead actor, Gene Kelly, was an unbelievably intense perfectionist when it came to choreography, singing, and dancing. There's an infamous story where the female lead, Debbie Reynolds, had to repeat the dance to the song over and over again because it wasn't up to Kelly's standards, so much so that her feet were bleeding and she had to literally pour blood out of her shoe between breaks.
My biggest beef with today's movies, is that, they move the cameras around too much when someone is singing or dancing, with cuts, close ups, pans, and you just know that it took 20 takes to get ONE sequence. These guys, and of course Astaire and Rogers, and all the rest of these great early talents, all did it in one or a few takes with the cameras way back showing all their moves. No gimmicks, just raw talent. Cagney, Hope, Hayworth, all of them, just sang and danced with the cameras showing their whole bodies. Even Flashdance is all cut up and you know that a body double was doing the dancing. I miss these really talented actors of old, they did it all.
I agree with Terry Morison, it did take them many takes and many hours of grueling rehearsing back then, but I also agree with dannydoc1969's point on how they didn't have all the constant camera angels switching around then, and I agree, that was better
Yes I agree! Michael shared he,fashioned many a move from Fred Astaire and it is so evident to those of us that adore the ART of dance. I have watched Michaels,videos over and overland over and over Especially Smooth Criminal it's like magic to me I loved him!
PupCake1025 It would be something to see a long shot of that whole scene, with the cameras and men chasing the dancers down the set on tracks, with the orchestra playing just out of sight, the sheer number of people involved... the sound and sight of it all. And then to hear the director's distant cry, "Cut. Print. That's a wrap, folks." Wow.
While the final edit was only made up of about 3 takes at the most they didn't only do three takes. This scene was gruelling and they danced through the night doing it again and again and again until it was utterly perfect. By the time they wrapped this scene Debbie's feet were bleeding from the effort and some people have even said that she had to be carried off set. It's a masterclass in hard work and technical perfection. And from a woman who had never danced before this job too!
Always been one my all time favourite films, I used to watch it with my grandparents. What’s ironic is Debbie Reynolds daughter stars in one of the other ones (Star Wars).
Ahhh I wish I grew up with this type of music. Why you ask. Because they can dance in choreography. Plus this song reminds me of a hot county near a beach
+Luís Nask Well, Gene Kelly wanted someone else to be casted for the role, and that person was Cyd Charisse, and she was consider to old for the part. :/ Hence, the weirdly place ten minute dance musical that has nothing to do with the film, was because Kelly wanted to have a dancing part with Cyd Charisse.
Debbie Reynolds: 19 years old, with little dance experience and thrown in with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. She described the movie, and childbirth, as the toughest things she ever did. But she learned to dance like that in 3 months! And without any encouragement from Kelly, who didn't think she could do it. She did, and they became good friends. What a talent! RIP with your daughter, another great talent in her own right.
She was a good gymnast before becoming actress; she had had classes of walking and posturing; and for that movie had help from no other than Fred Astaire. So the jumping and coordination were there. No miracle. And in the movie Syd Charisse did the difficult session anyway.
"She described the movie, and childbirth, as the toughest things she ever did." So she compared a crash course in learning to tap with one of the greats to giving childbirth (without an epidural). *THAT* is how hard truly great men work.
Victoria Odegaard it was an orange juice commercial. whenever it comes on i look at my mother with a stupid grin on my face and start dancing about the house.
Steve Black seriously? Are you so small minded to think there's nothing else after life? If you think that it's up to you, but who do you think you are to come out and tell people such a thing? Each people is free to believe what they want.
You have to hand it to Debbie Reynolds. Where her two male counterparts were dancers who became actors, she was an actor who had to learn to dance as well as them.....and she DID! She was wonderful in this scene and throughout the movie. Such fun to watch.
Me and my friends Tom and Jonathan performed this in college for an evening of musical numbers. The governors of the college got to see our showcases before the public and our families did. It was one of the first shows I did, and I was so nervous and proud of myself that when I came off stage I hid in the cleaning supplies closet and cried. This musical is a classic. It will always hold a special place in my heart
What I'm trying to say is they don't make live-action musical films like they used to. Believe me, Disney has done live-action musical films, but NOW, they're doing animated musical films, which is really crappy. Old beats new.
have you seen today's youth they dont have style or class these days its just twerking girls bad cartoons and shitty music and that is the audience they cater to
I'm 13, and yeah this generation is mostly represented by crack head annoying teenagers. You shouldn't all label us like that though. Sadly though, the worst people of a group always represent the whole group. That's why there are stereotypes. It's stupid. We don't all listen to horrible music and prance around in almost nothing while twerkin are booties off! I don't know how many teens you know today but I know a lot more who are better than that.
Frensis26 Depends on how delirious you are. I've been up for 48 hours and found myself laughing and singing, skipping around. Also depends on whether you spent that night abusing drugs and drinking or not.
This optimism, professionalism and talent and hard work of actors and producers, decorators, people building sets, music, writing .... camera work, attention to details .... all these are lost in time.... like tears .... in the rain.....
I was a kid in the 80s and loved these musicals and music from the 50s... why a kid from today can't love music from the 90s?? I don't get it. Music never grows old.
You realize that they would be shocked to hear such a crude word come from you. Back in their day, it wasn't unexpected from dockworkers and sailors, but young women would never. I'm 59, but I remember when my boyfriend 40 years ago almost fought a man for swearing in front of me. I'm an old feminist who is saddened that young women today think all we fought for was their right to expose their breasts and swear like a sailor. Kind of cheapens our achievements.
@Colt45blackjack thank you!!!! (: Btw I graduated last year! I'm now a nanny and every morning I play this song for the one year old that I watch. I'll definitely check out her other songs! Thank you for the recommendation
Singing in The Rain is one of my all time favorites. I can’t put in enough words how much grateful i'm. Thank you Debbie Reynolds for everything!. Rest in Peace.
I could watch these classic movies over and over again and never get tired of them. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, are just a few of these legendary classic actors that will always remain golden in these films which I hope they'll never ever try to remake.
This might actually be my favorite scene in film history. Just so magical and flawless in every way. They definitely don't make them like this anymore.
I read that Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly constantly clashed during the making of this movie. Mainly because she never work with a director (Gene) who worked and practiced and demanded perfection as he did. It wasn`t until Fred Astaire invited her to one of his rehearsals for her to realize how much practice it took to get to their level.
From either an interview I saw, or some memoir she wrote about this song, she said she was only 18 (maybe 19, but no older than teens), and very much a novice. Being paired up with such a celebrated luminary like Gene Kelly was terrifying, because there was absolutely no way she could be on his level. Her anxiety was quite high in this movie. She felt like she was thrown to the wolves, but she knew it was the price to pay for being in the business. Compared to the *incomparable* Gene Kelly, she held her own as best she could, and, in my humble opinion, should be given some slack for that.
Craig Blast I heard about this. Fred found her under a piano, and took her to see what he had done, even a year later, it was perfectly practiced. I don't know if anyone could keep up with Gene (or his ego). He is talented. Not being nice actually made people try harder. I would love know anybody that can follow up on this.
Is there someone else from Gen z here that is absolutely obsessed with singing in the rain?!?! I love it so much 💗💗💗💗💗
Me😂😂😂 been obsessed since i was 11
the fact that debbie was a teenager who had never really danced before this movie absolutely amazes me
Debbie was fabulous! 😀
She did say that Gene Kelly was such a perfectionist she ended up with blisters cus he made them do it over and over again

Ok, now I have a lot of respect for Debbie Reynolds
Yeah and her toes bled from this routine as well
Damn the actors were so highly trained back in the 50's
They also used copious amounts of meth to keep going and tranquilizers to be able to sleep.

Singin' in the Rain is simply a masterpiece. The best movie musical ever made. One of the best movies ever made. And one of the funniest :)
I disagree. Although I do think Singing in the Rain is one of the best musicals made, I would think West Side Story is the best musical.
B it's at least the best musical comedy :)

In a way you had to be what is called a triple threat to make it somehow in Hollywood at the time.
That’s true for the most part, but it isn’t actually Debby Reynolds singing, they had a different actress for that
Debbie is truly amazing. Holding her own dancing between two of the finest of all time. Stunning!

This is when musical films were actually good. Now, musical films are animated.
no animated musicals are the realm of Disney
What I'm trying to say is they don't make live-action musical films like they used to. Believe me, Disney has done live-action musical films, but NOW, they're doing animated musical films, which is really crappy. Old beats new.
have you seen today's youth they dont have style or class these days its just twerking girls bad cartoons and shitty music and that is the audience they cater to
Exactly my point. Old beats new. Everything classic was catchy and understanding. Everything modern (today) is stupid and fucking retarded.
I'm 13, and yeah this generation is mostly represented by crack head annoying teenagers. You shouldn't all label us like that though. Sadly though, the worst people of a group always represent the whole group. That's why there are stereotypes. It's stupid. We don't all listen to horrible music and prance around in almost nothing while twerkin are booties off! I don't know how many teens you know today but I know a lot more who are better than that.
God they just dont make em like they used to!!! Sheer brilliance!!
Simply the best dances America has produced
In my opinion singing in the rain is one of those rare films that is absolutely perfect. In my top ten favorite films.
My dad always used to sing this to me to wake me up.
Give me this over modern movies anytime. This is ART.
i just recently watched this movie in film class and what a surprise to hear this was the movie where the song came from.
That's NOT how you feel after pullin an all nighter, I guarantee ya
Frensis26 Depends on how delirious you are. I've been up for 48 hours and found myself laughing and singing, skipping around. Also depends on whether you spent that night abusing drugs and drinking or not.
I pulled one just now... I feel better than any other all-nighter morning because of the beautiful sunrise today.
Frensis26 it's only 1 am in the film..but there is a weird euphoria that people sometimes get when they're exhausted.
Not sure why this comment cracked me up but it did. Thanks!!!
emw1994 I love that feeling.
This scene is so wonderfully choreographed. Debbie at 19 holds her own between two seasoned professional hoofers.
This optimism, professionalism and talent and hard work of actors and producers, decorators, people building sets, music, writing .... camera work, attention to details .... all these are lost in time.... like tears .... in the rain.....
I was a kid in the 80s and loved these musicals and music from the 50s... why a kid from today can't love music from the 90s?? I don't get it. Music never grows old.
Bruh
I’m kid and I love 90s songs
I do thought i love 90s and 80s R&B and im a teen
When i wake up and don’t feel like getting up, I play this and it motivates me lmao
This shit is helping me graduate high school lmao

Is this your real name?

You realize that they would be shocked to hear such a crude word come from you. Back in their day, it wasn't unexpected from dockworkers and sailors, but young women would never. I'm 59, but I remember when my boyfriend 40 years ago almost fought a man for swearing in front of me. I'm an old feminist who is saddened that young women today think all we fought for was their right to expose their breasts and swear like a sailor. Kind of cheapens our achievements.
@Colt45blackjack thank you!!!! (: Btw I graduated last year! I'm now a nanny and every morning I play this song for the one year old that I watch. I'll definitely check out her other songs! Thank you for the recommendation
I'd love to have positive friends like this!
Yep nothing like a couple of pals who can brighten your worries
讓人懷念的老電影！
"And what a LOVELY mornin' it is!"
*points outside towards the rain*
Singing in The Rain is one of my all time favorites. I can’t put in enough words how much grateful i'm. Thank you Debbie Reynolds for everything!. Rest in Peace.
I could watch these classic movies over and over again and never get tired of them. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, are just a few of these legendary classic actors that will always remain golden in these films which I hope they'll never ever try to remake.
Princess Leia’s mom was pretty kick-ass!
1:25 now the milkman's on his way it's too late to say goodnight
*S O S A Y G O O D M O R N I N G*
This might actually be my favorite scene in film history. Just so magical and flawless in every way. They definitely don't make them like this anymore.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MORNING PEOPLE
YES!!!
Well it's like 1 in the morning so they're actually night people
Best ever historical Hollywood musical, we're all in!
朝にピッタリのdance😲 気持ちの良い朝を迎えることが出来ました🤔😊🤗🕊️👍🏻ありがとうございます🐣🐥🐤🐔🌟🌠☄️
I sung this to my kids this morning lol!
I read that Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly constantly clashed during the making of this movie. Mainly because she never work with a director (Gene) who worked and practiced and demanded perfection as he did. It wasn`t until Fred Astaire invited her to one of his rehearsals for her to realize how much practice it took to get to their level.
From either an interview I saw, or some memoir she wrote about this song, she said she was only 18 (maybe 19, but no older than teens), and very much a novice. Being paired up with such a celebrated luminary like Gene Kelly was terrifying, because there was absolutely no way she could be on his level. Her anxiety was quite high in this movie. She felt like she was thrown to the wolves, but she knew it was the price to pay for being in the business. Compared to the *incomparable* Gene Kelly, she held her own as best she could, and, in my humble opinion, should be given some slack for that.
KER
True.
Craig Blast I heard about this. Fred found her under a piano, and took her to see what he had done, even a year later, it was perfectly practiced. I don't know if anyone could keep up with Gene (or his ego). He is talented. Not being nice actually made people try harder. I would love know anybody that can follow up on this.
KER True that. She held her own, even terrified.
+Elaine S Gene didn't have an ego. If you think being a perfectionist in your line of work is being egotistical, then you're very much mistaken.
Imagine doing all that and still smiling 😊!
This song just brings me happiness
SO SAY GOOD MORNING!!!
~joe swanson
Brandon Chastain that episode is what made me watch this
They can sing, act and dance. True talent.
I could watch the old musicals over and over again.
and all in one take... . Fantastic!
Can you imagine the hell that rehearsing this scene must have been ...? This is a queen of the golden age right here, RIP Debbie.
Debbie was so wonderful in this film as well as all the philanthropy! R.I.P. little girl!!!!

My 4th grade teacher Ms berry would play this every morning when we went to class good times 😊😁
I terribly enjoy classic musical movies.
I sing this song to my kitties every morning. Hoping to sing it to babies soon!
+Sarah Walton Congratulations! How many?

It's been 3 months, safe to not to ask because maybe it didn't work out
Over 9000 kittens!
I just gave my cat a bath and now I got fur on my tongue. I must be doing something wrong.
