This is what I like about old hollywood musicals, the sequences can be creative and really fascinating instead of a person just randomly singing out of nowhere.
They are sure fun, we got Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry in Anchor's Aweigh, Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling in Royal Wedding, Kelly dancing with his alter ego in Cover Girl, and Ann Miller's Too Darn Hot dance.
I love alot of old entertainers, they feel more easy-going, and casual in their movies.
About two weeks ago, I finally got the chance to watch It's Always Fair Weather because it was on Max, and it was genuinely breathtaking and exciting. I loved it, it was a masterpiece.
The Baby You Knock Me Out song I could not stop listening to, it's easily the most inspiring songs of them all, but one of my favorites throughout the film was the split screen "Once Upon a Time" dance. My goodness, this was absoutely phenomenal. You really have to see this.
To me, this scene warmed my heart the most. You can tell how beautiful and extraordinary this is. You can see three of the men all by themselves singing out the song, it's timed impeccably, and comes to show you how you don't always need a deep complex, and dramatic moment in order to be magnificent.
As somebody who is continuing their journey on experiencing and expanding the creativity of these movies, this film alongside the songs I would highly recommend for viewers. I think at least one movie like Singin' In The Rain, and other grandiose movies Kelly, Astaire or Charisse star in should consider a must watch.
