Silent films are on the decline, being replaced by talking pictures. It is in this period of transition that the main characters move: a professional dancer (Gene Kelly), his friend (Donald O’Connor), a potential love interest (Debbie Reynolds), and a quarrelsome co-star (Jean Hagen). This musical masterpiece is commemorated on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its release with a Deluxe edition that includes a literal flood of bonus materials, celebrating not only this timeless work of art but also the legacy of producer and songwriter Arthur Freed.
