SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN

The 1952 romance starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor is still considered a classic. Yet it won zero Oscars and was nominated only for Best Supporting Actress and Best Score. Its theme may have dinged its chances, Isenberg says: “Beneath that sparkling Technicolor surface and all that entertainment is a pretty harsh critique of Tinseltown. Hollywood likes to be celebrated.”
