The classic that endures. Its the story of the chorus girl who finally gets her big break in Hollywood when she's discovered by the movie star. When Hollywood switches from silent pictures to talkies, it spells the end for the darlings of the silver screen, Don and Lena, because Lena has a fingernails-on-a-blackboard kind of voice. The studio hires a young woman from the chorus to dub Lena's vocals, and hilarity ensues leading to a happy ending. Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor shine with song and dance. Debbie Reynolds holds her own with the guys here. The special edition DVD set is a new digital transfer, and includes the theatrical trailers, two documentaries, lots of interviews with Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, and others. Its a set every film buff would want to have.
