A Folded Special Movie Music Soundtrack Poster (measures 19 1/4" x 27 1/4" [49 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) Singin' in the Rain, the classic 1952 Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly romantic musical comedy (considered by most the best musical of all time!; "What a glorious feeling"; "MGM's Technicolor Musical Treasure!"; "Suggested by the song 'Singin' In the Rain'"; about a Hollywood movie studio in the late 1920s that wants to begin making sound pictures, but their top leading lady has a dreadful voice, plus they have great difficulties adapting to the sound equipment; pretty young Debbie Reynolds comes along to dub in the singing voice of the primadonna leading lady, played to perfection by Jean Hagen) starring Gene Kelly (as Don Lockwood), Donald O'Connor (as Cosmo Brown), Debbie Reynolds (as Kathy Selden), Jean Hagen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Lina Lamont), Millard Mitchell (as R.F. Simpson), and Cyd Charisse (unnamed, only referred to as "Dancer"). Note that this greatest of all Hollywood musicals had an odd beginning! The title song had been sung in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" by Cliff Edwards, and that inspired this movie, and in addition, the song "Make 'Em Laugh" was basically plagiarized from "Be a Clown", from "The Pirate"!

Important Added Info: Note that we have heard from collectors that this poster was most likely included with a soundtrack LP record album. However, there is some disagreement as to which soundtrack album these poster were included with - some say they were included with 1974's "That's Entertainment" soundtrack and others think they were included with the 1972 album titled "The Golden Age of Movie Musicals" (we believe there is a good chance they were included with both!). We have seen posters with much the same style as this one from other movies and we believe that they were included, possibly at random, with those albums. Please bid knowing that this poster is most likely a promotional item that was included with a record album from 1972 titled "The Golden Age of Movie Musicals" or from 1974's "That's Entertainment" soundtrack LP! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is marker writing on the back of the poster that bleeds through to the front in the middle of the left edge. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
