And yet it's still beautiful. But Singin' in the Rain utterly transports me, start to finish--and particularly the fantasy sequence with Cyd Charisse, holy cow. And the ease and liquidity of the title song scene. <BR/><BR/>And some of WSS's dance sequences--"America," the dance at the gym, "Cool"--are simply stunning, simply astounding.

I think that feathered dress is the greatest costume in film, too.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061313079120981794noreply@blogger.com
