SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, its title song a fabulous exhortation to face crucibles with a happy refrain and a smile on our face. This week, in part three of our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS, we talk in entertaining depth about the lessons the movie – number 5 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 U.S. films – can teach us about the importance of living life with authenticity and navigating our journey from trials to triumphs with a team of fellow travelers who pick us up when we're down and help us define and embrace our unique life of significance. What the hero of the story, Don Lockwood, sings in the film in the midst of a downpour is a perspective we all would be wise to adopt when life's storms come: What a glorious feeling. I'm happy again. To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com. Enjoy the show?

Violent Ends returns to The Goods -- two movies with similar premises but very different tones and outcomes. This time, Dan and Brian watch the MGM Technicolor classic, Singin' in the Rain, and the Damien Chazelle critical and financial flop from last year, Babylon. Join as they ponder the movies' twin theses about sound and silent cinema, mourn the tragedy of Lina Lamont, decode the films' historical allusions, parse through Babylon's nihilism and gross-out factor, and wonder if Gene Kelly's Don Lockwood is actually a hero.

Don Lockwood is a movie star. Not just any movie star, THE movie star. Times though are changing, and can Don, Cosmo and Monumental Pictures adapt from the silent film era to the new talking pictures? Or will Lita throw a wrench in their plans?

"Le Classico" de Sébastien Ministru : "Bonjour Tristesse" de Françoise Sagan. La villa est magnifique, l'été brûlant, la Méditerranée toute proche. Cécile a dix-sept ans. Elle ne connaît de l'amour que des baisers, des rendez-vous, des lassitudes. Pas pour longtemps. Son père, veuf, est un adepte joyeux des liaisons passagères et sans importance. Ils s'amusent, ils n'ont besoin de personne, ils sont heureux. La visite d'une femme de cœur, intelligente et calme, vient troubler ce délicieux désordre. Comment écarter la menace ? Dans la pinède embrasée, un jeu cruel se prépare. C'était l'été 1954. On entendait pour la première fois la voix sèche et rapide d'un " charmant petit monstre " qui allait faire scandale. La deuxième moitié du XXe siècle commençait. Elle serait à l'image de cette adolescente déchirée entre le remords et le culte du plaisir. Spéciale "Chantons sous la pluie", un film musical américain réalisé par Stanley Donen et Gene Kelly et sorti il y a 70 ans ce 11 décembre. On en parle avec Dick Tomasovic, chargé de cours en histoire et esthétique du cinéma et des arts du spectacle à l'ULg. L'histoire nous plonge en 1927. Don Lockwood et Lina Lamont, couple star du cinéma muet à Hollywood, volent de succès en succès et feignent de s'adorer autant à la ville qu'à l'écran. La réalité est plus sombre. Quand le premier film parlant sort, tous deux sont contraints de s'adapter pour tourner leur premier film du genre. Si Don maitrise l'exercice, la voix désagréable et les zozotements de Lina menacent le duo. Kathy, une jeune danseuse et chanteuse, lui offre donc discrètement sa voix. Jalouse, Lina est prête à tout pour empêcher Kathy de faire carrière et briser l'amour naissant entre Don et Kathy. On reçoit aussi Erige Sehiri pour son film "Sous les figues", qui a été présenté à la Quinzaine des cinéastes à Cannes et lauréat du Bayard d'or au Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur (FIFF). Le film est en avant-première ce jeudi soir à 20h00 au Cinéma Churchill à Liège. Le film est également présenté en Compétition RêVolution dans le cadre de la 21ème édition du Festival Cinemamed, ce vendredi soir à 21h00 au Cinéma Palace à Bruxelles et sortira en salles le 14 décembre. Au nord-ouest de la Tunisie, des jeunes femmes travaillent à la récolte des figues. Sous le regard des ouvrières plus âgées et des hommes, elles flirtent, se taquinent, se disputent. Au fil de la journée, le verger devient un théâtre d'émotions, où se jouent les rêves et les espoirs de chacun. "Inspiré de faits réels" de Franck Istasse : Le roman "Le Monde perdu" de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle paru en 1912 et qui s'inspire du Mokélé-Mbembé, le dinosaure qui vivrait toujours en Afrique centrale...

Da haben wir es: Mein absolutes Lieblingmusical. Und ich weiß, es ist eine obvious Choice. Aber deswegen habe ich ja auch 99 Episoden gewartet, bis ich ihn eingeworfen habe. Singing in the Rain aus dem Jahr 1952 ist DER Film übers Filmemachen, über den Übergang der Stummfilmzeit in den Tonfilm. Über Hollywoods Macken und sein absurdes Star-System. Um die Story kurz zu umreißen: Don Lockwood und Lina Lament sind DIE Stummfilmstars ihrer Zeit. Als der Tonfilm aufkommt, wollen sie nicht hinten anstehen und drehen mit neuem Tonequipment, mit dem noch keiner umgehen kann. Durch Lina Laments abschreckende Stimmlage, das übertriebene Schauspiel, sowie schlechte Dialoge, fällt der Film bei einer Testvorführung durch und sie müssen sich was einfallen lassen. Die rettende Idee kommt von Kathy Seldon, der Love-Interest von Don Lockwood. Sie schlägt ein Musical vor und Cosmo Brown, Dons bester Freund schlägt vor, Lina synchronisieren zu lassen. Alle freuen sich, der Film wird ein Erfolg, alle singen und tanzen aus die Maus, nach Haus. Lieber Plor, auf einer Skala von 10 bis 10, wie großartig findest du diesen Film und wie schwer ist es für dich auszuhalten, dass der beste Film aller Zeiten ausgerechnet ein Musical ist.

Mark welcomes his friend and coworker from Ogunquit Playhouse Michael Stailey to nerd out over a movie musical that stands the test of time: Singin' in the Rain! The iconic Gene Kelly film is now 70 years old after being released on April 11, 1952, but its meta storytelling and commentary on Hollywood and filmmaking, plus its perfect cinematography, editing, and choreography, make it still feel fresh. Michael shares lots of old Hollywood knowledge and Mark wonders if Tom Cruise is/was the modern day Don Lockwood?

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN transports viewers to a period when of Hollywood's silent-movie era was coming to an end where famed actor Don Lockwood is at the peak of his success and falling in love with down to earth studio singer, Kathy Seldon. However, when his high-pitched, vain, jealous co-star, Lina Lamont, finds out about Don's new love interest, Lina uses everything in her power to sabotage Kathy's career. Don, Kathy and Lina all struggle to find their place in the new era of synchronized sound movies, also known as “the talkies.” Hilarious conflicts and schemes ensue.
One of the most beloved musicals of all time is the subject of this episode, it's Singin' in the Rain! Gene Kelly stars as Don Lockwood, a silent movie star who has to make the transition to "talkies" in Hollywood, 1927. Helping him out are his best friend Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) and new love Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds). "Moses Supposes" you should join Adam and Andy as they talk about this Hollywood classic!

Skincare for Men (0:00:00) When you walk down the skincare aisle at a grocery store, you'll notice that 90% of the products are catered to women and maybe three or four dinky bottles are labeled for men. Because of large marketing efforts targeted towards women, many men don't see the need to practice skincare other than rinsing their face in the morning. However, taking care of your skin daily is just as important for men as it is for women. Today we are joined by Dr. Debra Jaliman, a board-certified dermatologist. She joins us to discuss the best skincare practices for men. Feminism on Broadway (0:14:51) You might remember your first time seeing a musical. You clutched your ticket and playbill as you sat down in a crowded theatre. As the lights dimmed, your excitement heightened. You sat there in awe wondering how Don Lockwood could tap dance and sing in a puddle of water without getting out of breath or falling down. There's a standing ovation and the crowds go home. After the curtain closes, musicals have a profound effect on their audience. Broadway's audience is over sixty percent female. So, the question is—are we accurately representing women on stage, empowering the female audience, and making an impact for the thousands of women watching? Here to discuss this is Stacy Wolf, author and director of musical theatre at Princeton University. Finding Mentors for Kids (0:34:51) Our kids have dreams just like we do. But theirs seem to be constantly changing. One week you're sitting at home and your kid proclaims that when they grow up, they're going to be a zoo veterinarian. But just last week, didn't they say they were going to be dolphin trainer? And the week before, you swear they wanted to be an astronaut. No matter how big or small or indecisive our kids' dreams are, it's not too early to encourage them to start thinking about their future career. Joining us today is Carrie Ann Rhodes, friend of the show, to talk about all the reasons why we should encourage our kids to explore their interests and possible career options. Mental Health in a Crisis (0:50:35) Lisa and Richie talk about what they're doing to protect their mental health while handling the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Family Business Survival Kit (1:05:41) Do you have a dream of starting a family business? A lot of us do, and it seems so ideal –everyone working together smoothly. But it's hard to see how that ideal can happen when you all fight over a piece of chicken at the dinner table. Dr. Fredda Herz Brown is a pioneer in the field of family enterprise. We've invited her on the show today to discuss her experience and expertise with this unique field. Would It Kill You To Put On Some Lipstick? (1:24:48) Putting yourself back in the dating scene after relationships end can be tough. It takes confidence, perseverance, and bravery to start dating again. But as tricky as it may sound, taking the chance to find love again can be an exciting experience just as Holy Martyn discovered in her journey on 100 dates in 1 year. Holly Martyn is the author of “Would it Kill You to Put on Some Lipstick?” She's going to give us some tips on how we can find the confidence to put ourselves out there again and what she learned from her own experience.

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1952) is the epitome of classic Hollywood MGM movie magic, and is a musical about the birth of the Hollywood musical. The film is set in the 1920s, when silent films were being pushed aside by “talkies.” Gene Kelly plays Don Lockwood, a popular silent film star who is famous for his on-screen romances with Lina Lamont, played by Jean Hagen. Behind the scenes, Lina is a total diva who happens to have a high-pitched, whiny voice that will never work for a film with sound. Enter Debbie Reynolds as Cathy, a young actress who falls for Don and has the perfect voice that can be dubbed in for Lina’s… SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN has a great plot, but the real appeal of this film, in our opinion, is the trio of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O’Connor, plus the memorable songs. In this episode, we talk about how SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN was basically made as an excuse to recycle songs from the twenties and thirties, Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen as co-directors, and the superstar singer, dancer, and actor who was rumored to have helped Debbie Reynolds work on her dancing after he found her crying under a piano after leaving a rehearsal. Grab an umbrella and get ready to jump into what many people consider the greatest movie musical ever made!
Comedian Kasey Kesner is here to talk about the 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain. The mysterious drive to succeed as an entertainer, the question of Don Lockwood's likability, Lena Lamont's class struggle, and of course gay subtext.
