With somewhat overly simple cinematography (as the film mimicked the Broadway play), this film went round after round tackling many angles of human nature – its frailty, flaws, hopes and dreams (some elusive). Focused on raising a family in a "blue collar" Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania setting – i...

MGM released “Singin' in the Rain” in 1952, and since then it has been applauded as one of the best musicals of all times. Filled with song and strong tap danci...
