5.0 out of 5 stars What a Glorious Feeling!, November 29, 2001

This review is from: Singin' in the Rain (BFI Film Classics) (Paperback)
This is a terrific book on what is probably the best American musical film. Wollen captured me when he compared Kelly's solo dance in "Rain" to a dance in "Cover Girl," something I had long thought, but had never seen anyone mention in print.

Wollen does a fine job showing how the movie fits into Gene Kelly's career and the development of the movie musical. He also has some eye-opening stuff on how "Singin' in the Rain" nearly ran afoul of the Hollywood blacklist.

Even if you've seen the movie many times, you'll probably learn something about it in Wollen's book that you didn't know before. I did.
