Singin- In The Rain Jun 2026

While Kelly gets the rain, O'Connor steals the entire film. His performance of "Make 'Em Laugh" is one of the most physically exhausting sequences ever committed to film. O'Connor runs up walls, falls down stairs, does backflips, and throws himself across a room. He reportedly smoked three packs of cigarettes a day at the time and was hospitalized for exhaustion after filming the scene. He is the film's hilarious, rubber-limbed heart.

The narrative follows popular silent film star Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and his glamorous on-screen partner, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). When the massive success of The Jazz Singer in 1927 forces their studio to adapt, they must turn their upcoming silent feature into a talking picture.
