Singin' in the Rain - Special Edition 2 Disc Set

Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagan) are a famous on-screen romantic pair, stars of the silent movies. But Lina mistakes the on-screen romance for real love. Don has worked hard to get where he is today, with his former partner Cosmo. When Don and Lisa's latest film is transformed into a musical, Don has the perfect voice for the songs. But Lisa's voice is - well, in need of dubbing over. An aspiring actress, Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), is brought into the movie and Don falls in love with her. Featuring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell, Rita Moreno, Douglas Fowley and Cyd Charisse.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
