Singin' in the Rain
Singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
We're happy again
We'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
And singin'
Just singin' in the rain
This is
Dora Bailey, ladies and gentlemen...
...talking to you from the front
of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
What a night, ladies and gentlemen.
What a night!
Every star in Hollywood is here
to make Monumental Pictures' premiere...
...of The Royal Rascal,
the outstanding event of 1927.
Everyone breathlessly awaits...
...the arrival of Lina Lamont
and Don Lockwood.
Look who's arriving now.
It's that famous "zip" girl
of the screen...
...the darling of the flapper set...
...Zelda Zanders!
Zelda! Zelda!
Her new red-hot pash,
J. Cumberland Spendrill III...
...that well-known eligible bachelor.
Zelda's had so much unhappiness,
I hope this time it's really love.
And here comes that
exotic star, Olga Mara!
Ooh.
And her new husband,
the Baron de la Bonnet de la Toulon.
They've been married two months already,
but still as happy as newlyweds.
Well, well, well.
It's Cosmo Brown!
Cosmo is Don's best friend.
for Don and Lina...
...to get them into
those romantic moods!
Oh, folks, this is it.
This is it!
The stars of tonight's picture,
those romantic lovers of the screen...
...Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont!
Ladies and gentlemen, when you look
at this gorgeous couple...
...it's no wonder they're
a household name all over the world.
Like "bacon and eggs."
"Lockwood and Lamont."
Don, tell me confidentially,
...that wedding bells are soon
to ring for you and Lina?
Lina and I have no statement
to make at the present time.
We're just good friends.
You've come a long way together.
Won't you tell us how it happened?
Lina and I have made
a number of pictures together...
Oh, no, no, Don.
I want your story from the beginning.
Dora, not in front of all these people!
The story of your success
is an inspiration...
...to young people all over the world.
Please!
Well, to begin with,
any story of my career...
...would have to include
my lifelong friend, Cosmo Brown.
We were kids together,
grew up together, worked together.
Yes?
Well, Dora, I've had one motto
"Dignity. Always dignity."
This was instilled in me by Mum and Dad
from the very beginning.
They sent me to the finest schools,
including dancing school.
That's where I first met Cosmo.
And with him, I used to perform
for Mum and Dad's society friends.
They used to make such a fuss over me.
If I was very good, I was allowed
to accompany Mom and Dad to the theater.
They brought me up on Shaw...
...Molire, the finest of the classics.
To this was added rigorous
musical training...
...at the Conservatory of Fine Arts.
We rounded out our apprenticeship
at an exclusive dramatics academy.
And at all times...
...the motto remained...
..."Dignity.
Always dignity."
In a few years, we were ready
to embark on a dance concert tour.
We played the finest
symphonic halls in the country.
Fit as a fiddle
And ready for love
I can jump over
The moon up above
Fit as a fiddle
And ready for love
Haven't a worry
Haven't a care
Feelin' like a feather
That's floatin' on air
Fit as a fiddle
And ready for love
Soon the church bells will be ringin'
And a march with Ma and Pa
How the church bells will be ringin'
With a hey-nonny-nonny
And a hot-cha-cha
Hi diddle diddle
My baby's okay
Ask me a riddle
I'm happy to say
Fit as a fiddle
And ready for love
Audiences everywhere adored us.
Get out of here!
Finally we decided to come
to sunny California.
We were stranded...
We were staying here, resting up...
...when offers from the movie
We sorted them out and decided
to favor Monumental Pictures.
Lina, you hate him.
Resist him. Keep that mood music going.
Now, Phil, you come in.
Keep on grinding.
Now you see her. Now here's the bit,
Bert, where you get it on the jaw.
Cut!
No, no! That wasn't right!
You were supposed to go over the bar
and crash into the glasses! Try it again!
Okay, Bert? Bert!
Oh, that's swell, just swell.
Take him away, fellas!
You'll be all right. We've lost
more stuntmen on these pictures...
It'll take hours to get
a new one from Central Casting.
Mr. Dexter, I can do that.
- You? You're a musician.
- That's a moot point.
No kidding!
What's your name?
Don Lockwood, but the fellas
call me "Donald."
Wise guy, huh?
Okay, I'll try you.
Get this guy into Bert's suit!
And remember, Lockwood, you might be
trading that fiddle in for a harp.
Camera!
Phil, come in. Now you see him.
That's it.
Now, here's where you get it
right on the jaw.
Cut!
That was wonderful!
Got any more little chores
you want done?
Plenty!
Okay.
My roles in these films were urbane...
...sophisticated...
...suave.
And of course,
...Lina was, as always,
an inspiration to me.
Warm and helpful.
A real lady.
Hello, Miss Lamont.
I'm Don Lockwood, the stuntman.
It was a thrill working
with you, Miss Lamont.
Hey, Don.
Meet the producer
of the picture, R.F. Simpson.
I just saw some rushes and asked
Dexter who the stuntmen were.
He said they were all you. I'm putting
you and Lina together in a picture.
Come to my office.
We'll discuss a contract.
Thanks, Mr. Simpson!
Are you doing anything tonight,
Miss Lamont?
That's funny.
I'm busy.
Lina and I have had the same
wonderful relationship ever since.
But most important of all,
I continue living up to my motto:
"Dignity.
Always dignity."
Thank you, Don.
And I'm sure you and Lina will continue
making movie history tonight...
...in your greatest picture,
The Royal Rascal.
Get enough, boys?
She's so refined...
...I think I'll kill myself.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We're thrilled at your response
to The Royal Rascal.
We had fun making it, and we hope
you had fun seeing it tonight.
We screen actors aren't much good
at speaking in public.
So we'll just act out our thanks.
Hot diggity! t's a smash!
Don, Lina, you were gorgeous!
Lina, you looked pretty good for a girl.
What's the big idea?
Can't a girl get a word in edgewise?
They're my public too!
The publicity department...
...thought it'd be better if Don
made all the speeches for the team.
Why?
You're beautiful. Audiences think
you got a voice to match.
We gotta keep our stars
from looking ridiculous at any cost.
- No one's got that much money.
- What's wrong with the way I talk?
Am I dumb or something?
No, it's just that Don's
had so much more experience...
Next time, write me out a speech.
Sure. Why don't you recite
the Gettysburg Address?
What do you know about it,
you piano player? Are you anybody?
Donnie, how can you let him talk
