“Singin’ In the Rain”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1952 movie “Singin’ in the Rain” starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O’Connor. The paper considers the various aspects of the film but focuses on a singular “mise en scène” in which Reynolds and Kelly dance together on an empty stage against an artificially created and romantic sunset. Handsome Don takes shy, yet independent, Kathy on to an empty sound stage and the magic begins in which an entire mise en scène, in the most classic sense of both the photographic and the theatrical concept unfolds. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
