Making Gene Kelly's 'Singin' in The Rain' Scene Wasn't a Glorious Moment

He's fallen in love and just walked home the girl of his dreams. Now, there's nothing left for him to do but walk the rainy streets of Los Angeles, and do a time-step or two. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor starred in what many consider to be one of the greatest musicals of all time, Singin' in the Rain. Released in 1952, it has stood the test of time and is celebrated for its elaborate sets, incredibly staged musical productions, and satirical depiction of show business. Kelly not only starred in the film, but he also co-directed with Stanley Donen and choreographed alongside assistant choreographer, Carol Haney. This massive undertaking provided a challenge Kelly couldn't have foreseen heading into the film's most iconic dance number.
