The "Broadway melody" portion in singing in the rain was both relevant and unneeded in this movie. In the beginning of this section it starts out showing his trip to Broadway and how he got his chance with being a star. But after that, all of the other scenes I felt were useless and hard to follow. Like the scene with the gangster and the lady in green and the lady in white, I saw no need for that in the film. I think it was just used for extra dance scenes for the movie so Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) could show off his dancing skills or to possibly add another 20 minutes to the movie. Overall I thought this was a well-made movie. I personally liked how they incorporated the difficulties of getting the sounds correct with the positioning of the microphone, and how they ended up using Kathy Seldon’s (Debbie Reynolds) voice for Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) so that she wouldn’t sound all high pitched and annoying.
