A rubber-faced background musician and an ambitious young showgirl help a silent matinee idol survive the transition to sound in a singing, dancing, laughing, splashing classic from MGM. If it's not the best Hollywood musical ever, it's at least the best musical ever made about Hollywood. Kelly's rapturous song-and-dance routine to the title tune is one of the transcendent moments in American films.
