Nacio Herb Brown

Considered one of the greatest musicals ever made, it is set in Hollywood during the roaring twenties. The plot is a spoof of the early days of "talkie" films. Features some of the best known songs, "Singin in the rain", and others.

Silent movies are giving way to talking pictures, and a hoofer-turned-matinee idol, his buddy, a prospective ladylove and his shrewish co-star are all caught in that bumpy transition.
