About the Movie

Starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, this 1952 American musical-comedy is considered one of the greatest and most successful musicals ever filmed. This lighthearted depiction of Hollywood in the late 1920s is filled with memorable songs and lavish dance routines.

Who can forget Kelly performing his fabulous song-and-dance number in the rain, hanging from a lamppost in the wild joy of new love?

It’s even better on the big screen.

So, grab your umbrella, don your galoshes, and dance your way to Towngate Theatre for this joyous film.
