An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Singin' in the Rain, the classic 1952 Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly romantic musical comedy (considered by most the best musical of all time!; "What a glorious feeling"; "MGM's Technicolor Musical Treasure!"; "Suggested by the song 'Singin' In the Rain'"; about a Hollywood movie studio in the late 1920s that wants to begin making sound pictures, but their top leading lady has a dreadful voice, plus they have great difficulties adapting to the sound equipment; pretty young Debbie Reynolds comes along to dub in the singing voice of the primadonna leading lady, played to perfection by Jean Hagen) starring Gene Kelly (as Don Lockwood), Donald O'Connor (as Cosmo Brown), Debbie Reynolds (as Kathy Selden), Jean Hagen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Lina Lamont), Millard Mitchell (as R.F. Simpson), and Cyd Charisse (unnamed, only referred to as "Dancer"). Note that this greatest of all Hollywood musicals had an odd beginning! The title song had been sung in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" by Cliff Edwards, and that inspired this movie, and in addition, the song "Make 'Em Laugh" was basically plagiarized from "Be a Clown", from "The Pirate"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most of the posters for "Singin' in the Rain" center around an image of Kelly, Reynolds, and O'Connor with umbrellas, but the image on this poster is from the classic "Gotta Dance" sequence with Kelly and Charisse, and we don't recall seeing this image on any other poster (and we have not auctioned this poster before). Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]. Condition: fair to good. The blank borders were trimmed and there is paper loss in three corners.
