Auction History Result 9k1583 SINGIN' IN THE RAIN insert 1952 Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/5/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 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, for unknown reasons, this insert is FAR more rare than the one-sheet from this classic movie! We have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 4 years ago, when it sold for $2,200! Note that this poster was folded at one time but because it has been laying flat for a long time our intention is to send it rolled in a tube. However, because we are certain it would not harm it to re-fold it (because the folds are still there and have not diminished), we can also re-fold it if the buyer needs it to be shipped with folded items. Condition: very good. The poster has faint additional creases above and below the regular top fold, with minor wear on the folds. It has a diagonal crease in the top right corner and a tack hole in the top left corner. It has some smudges around the edges and a smudge in between the "SI" of "SINGIN'" that extends into the "I". The poster can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have slight restoration performed, with or without backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
