Trivia
For the "Make 'em Laugh" number, Donald O'Connor revived a trick he had done as a young dancer: running up a wall and completing a somersault. The number was so physically taxing that O'Connor ended up in a hospital bed for a week after its completion. He suffered from exhaustion and carpet burns. After an accident ruined all of the initial footage, O'Connor agreed to do the difficult number all over again.

Goofs
During the Cyd Charisse nightclub dance number, when she's wrapped around Gene Kelly, her body completely changes position between frames due to a clumsy edit. According to commentary on the special edition DVD, this cut of only a few frames' duration dates back to the original release of the film and no one knows why it exists.

Quotes
Cosmo Brown: Lina. She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.

Connections
Edited from The Three Musketeers (1948)

Can you imagine? Me, a film lover since the age of six, hadn't seen "Singing In The Rain" until last night. I had read and heard so much about it over the years that I knew I was going to be disappointed. As a musical I've never seen anything so perfectly "in tune" I can see how many directors have been influenced by the soul of this gorgeous movie. I've seen even Federico Fellini here. The tap routine with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor is so energizing that I wanted to see it again and again. The fantasy number with Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse is breathtaking, breathtaking! How extraordinary to see Debiee Reynolds going through the contagious (Good morning!Good morning!) I had seen her a few nights before as Grace's mother in "Will and Grace" She hasn't lost her zest. I'm sure I'll be seeing this movie many times and I intend to show it to very young people from the post MTV generation and I'm betting with myself that they're going to love it. Greatness is timeless.
