Silent movies are giving way to Talking Pictures - and a hoofer-turned-matinee idol (Gene Kelly) is caught in the transition, along with friend, Donald O'Connor, prospective ladylove (Debbie Reynolds) and shrewish co-star (Jean Hagen). This musical masterwork marks its 50th anniversary in this special edition that includes not just this all-time favourite but also the musical legacy of its producer, songwriter Arthur Freed. DVD.
