Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 Gene Kelly musical film chronicling Hollywood's transition from silent films to "talkies." Kelly plays Don Lockwood, who frequently stars with Lina Lamont (Jean Hagens character), who has a grating voice and thinks their acted romance is real. At the urging of Lockwood and his partner Cosmo Brown, the studio turns their current film The Dueling Cavaliers into a musical and overdubs Lamont's voice; meanwhile Lockwood falls in love with the overdub artist (Debbie Reynolds) and Lamont does everything possible to sabotage the romance.

The music and lyrics were written by Comden and Green.

The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
