SINGING IN THE RAIN

This movie is about Hollywood's frantic transition to the "talkies", in the late twenties. Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) is the star of the show. He has met the girl of his dreams Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), a girl with looks, and a voice like an angel.

Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), a silent movie queen whose voice would make your hair stand on end nearly forces her producer (Millard Mitchell) to scrap their new film. Until Don and his pal Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) come up with a brillant plan.

This movie includes the famous "Wedding Dance" in which bagpiping Scotsmen from eight different clans gather from all directions.

well-endowed Miss Higgins (Esther Williams).

ANCHORS AWEIGH

Flippen.

returning from the war meet at a bar in New York before
going their own ways. When it's time to leave, they make a
pact, to all meet back at the same bar ten years later,
to renew their friendship.
Kelly does a graceful number on roller skates, you won't want
to miss. Cyd Charisse scores with her hit "Baby, You Knock
Me Out".

XANADU
1980 Stars; Gene Kelly, and the beautiful
Olivia Newton John.
Xanadu is a look at the future and a loving remembrance
of the way things were in the heyday of Hollywood.

"Suddenly", and the title song "Xanadu".
The 40's meet the 80's in Xanadu, a very special love story.
