Singin’ in the Rain offers a lighthearted depiction of Hollywood in the late 1920s, with the three stars — Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds — portraying performers caught up in the transition from silent films to "talkies." The film is filled with memorable songs, lavish routines and Kelly's fabulous song-and-dance number performed in the rain. Singin’ in the Rain has been accorded legendary status by contemporary critics and is frequently regarded as the best film musical ever made. It topped the American Film Institute’s Greatest Movie Musicals list and is ranked as the fifth-greatest American motion picture of all time in its updated list of the greatest American films in 2007. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry.
