Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
This funny and affectionate peek at how late 1920s Hollywood adjusted to the coming of sound, remains one of the most joyous and beloved of all film musicals. Not only a classic example of the MGM musical at its highly polished best, Singing' in the Rain is also a lasting tribute to the incredible talent of star and co-director, Gene Kelly. Deftly tailored around a selection of perky, likeable songs written during the period by Nacio Herb Brown and the film's creative producer Arthur Freed, the amusing plot inspired a dazzling array of stylish dance routines; none more famous, of course, than Kelly's now legendary, wonderfully carefree frolic in the rain. With bright-eyed support from a young Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor (whose madcap "Make 'em laugh" is another of the film's enduring highlights), plus the terrific MGM studio orchestra, this set of the entire score, complete with several out-takes, is guaranteed to chase the blues away. --Robert Seeley

Not Perfect, But Fairly Close I Think!,
By Sunnyside "Sunnyside" (Astoria, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Singin' in the Rain (1952 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Well, I wish they had "left in" the tapping feet, but otherwise, this album is the original soundtrack all right! I especially liked it that different versions of some songs were used ("Would You", "All I Do Is Dream of You", "Beautiful Girl", etc.), some only slightly different and others fairly radically. Too bad lyrics weren't included in the booklet! If I may be picky, I would have also liked it more were the photos in color. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else to say other than that if the movie's touched your heart, then this CD ought to do the same!

Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Singin' in the Rain (1952 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
One of the other reviewers mentioned that the dialogue, tapping, applause, etc. included in previous releases of this soundtrack were annoying. I must disagree. I believe that THIS release, especially without the tap, is both annoying and boring. The dialogue and tapping are parts of the songs for me...part of the rhythm. Without them, the songs lose their spark. Even my 4-year old son noticed the absence of the dialogue and tapping. I was highly disappointed with this CD and now I'm frustrated because I cannot find a CD version to replace the old, worn out (though still wonderful) cassette we have been listening to.

What a Glorious Feeling...,
This review is from: Singin' in the Rain (1952 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Perhaps one of my favorite movies, Singin' in the Rain is both a crowd-pleaser and a cinematographic achievement (it was named one of the top ten movies of all time by the American Film Institue). This soundtrack does justice to the movie, and more. It contains the score of the original movie as well as the vocal pieces (favorites include "You Were Meant For Me," "Good Morning," and, of course "Singin in the Rain"); however, it also includes extended versions and outtakes as well as supplemental material. If you have seen the movie, you will not be displeased with the way the soundtrack recreates the movie. You can almost see handsome Don Lockwood and Cosmo Brown tapping and joking at the diction coach's office, or Kathy and Don dancing across the empty soundstage. After all, the movie almost IS the music. If you have not seen the movie, never fear- the CD insert is a booklet that includes a synopsis of the film. Overall, an excellent (and digitally remastered!) buy. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds are a trio that's sure to please.
