Description

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN 3:00, 7:00
Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds dance up a storm in what is perhaps the greatest movie musical of all time. Co-directed by Kelly and Donen, they spoof the transitional period in ?lm from silents to talkies as concocted by the matchless writing team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, plus MGM’s catalog of Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown songs. Jean Hagen, Cyd Charisse, and Rita Moreno co-star. (1952, 103 min, DCP)

ON THE TOWN 5:00, 9:00
In one of the freshest, most exhilarating musicals turned out by the classic MGM regime, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin are three sailors on 24-hour pass who ?nd romance in the Big Apple with Vera-Ellen, Betty Garrett, and Ann Miller. Made legend by blending brilliant location and studio production numbers with innovative choreography, debuting co-directors Kelly and Donen changed the landscape of movie musicals, opening filmmakers' eyes to what could be brought to the screen. (1949, 98 min, DCP)
