Singin' in the Rain Singin' in the Rain, motion-picture musical about several Hollywood performers adjusting to the transition from silent to sound films during the 1920s. Released in 1952, the film stars Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor as two performers who worked their way up the show business ladder all the way from vaudeville to talking motion pictures. A young actress (played by Debbie Reynolds) gets her break in show business when she dubs the voice of a silent screen star who has a terrible voice. She and Don Lockwood (Kelly) fall in love, which prompts him to sing for joy in a memorable, rainy sequence.
