Rediscover time-honored treasures and underappreciated productions from across cinematic history as part of our Classic Film Club! Make sure to arrive on-time for an introduction to the selected film and get to know your neighbors with a post-screening discussion.
This month's screening is perhaps the greatest movie musical Hollywood ever produced; it's Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain (1952). Set in 1927, the film centers around Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly), a popular silent film star, and his on-screen partner Lina Lamont. The introduction of talking pictures poses a threat to the powerful duo, however, when it is discovered by audiences that Lina has an excruciatingly shrill voice. Enter young studio singer Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), a woman who lacks the stardom of Ms. Lamont but possesses the beautiful voice of which Lina is in dire need. Can Don and Lina find a solution to Lina's laughably annoying voice to salvage their careers?
Classic Film Club will meet the 2nd Thursday of each month. All screenings take place in the Library Program Room.
