Fred Astaire . Before the filming of this movie, Debbie Reynolds had NO idea of how to dance. Fred Astaire saw her crying and offered to help.
| In the film, we see that Kathy is dubbing Lina's voice. When Debbie Reynolds was supposed to be dubbing Jean Hagen's voice, who actually did the singing for the song, "Would You"? | I'm 'Singin' in the Rain'
|
Betty Noyes. Interesting, in real life, Jean Hagen actually had a beautiful singing voice. Kind of hard to believe, isn't it? Betty Noyes provided the singing voice for the one song "Would You?". Jean Hagen provided Lina's squeaky voice and the voice in "The Dancing Cavalier", but Betty sang that one song.
March 24. "Fellas, I feel this is my lucky day, March 23." "No, no your lucky day is the 24th." "What do you mean the 24th?" "It's 1:30 already it's morning!"

musician. "Keep that mood music going!"
Oatmeal. "Fit as a fiddle, and ready for love, I can jump over the moon up above, fit as a fiddle and ready for love." Dead Man's Fang was Arizona, and Coyoteville was New Mexico.
The Royal Rascal. "The outstanding event of 1927."
Gotta Dance!. "Gotta dance! Gotta dance! Gotta dance!"
| At the end of the movie Don and Kathy are standing next to a billboard. What is the movie, starring themselves, called? | Singin' In The Rain
|
Singin' In The Rain. Kathy Seldon becomes the new "it" girl. Don and Kathy are still together and making the next new hit movie. This is a happy ending to a great movie!
| What's Lina's comment, when the microphone is in the bush, and she has to talk into it but keeps forgetting that it's there? | Singin' In The Rain
|
"Well I can't make love to a bush!". When the director fixes Lina's sound problem there is a cable linking the microphone in Lina's dress to the sound booth. RF comes in and almost trips over the cable. He thinks that someone else might trip over it and injure themselves. So instead of telling someone he pulls it and seeing it is connected to Lina she goes head over heels. This is very funny!
Ethel Barrymore. Kathy wants to become a Broadway actress. She pretends that she is, to Don, but she is actually a dancer. Ethel Barrymore is a classic silent movie actress.
| At the party for the "The Royal Rascal", R.F. demonstrates a picture with sound. What company makes the first motion picture with sound? | Singin' In The Rain
|
Warner Brothers. It was called "The Jazz Singer". Everyone thought it would ruin the company, but in fact it did extremely well, and all the other companies followed suit by making talkies.
| In the first picture shown in the movie, called "The Royal Rascal", what is Don Lockwood's character's name? | Singin' In The Rain
|
Philippe. It's a silent movie so there is no talking, however there are subtitles. So when Lina called him by name, Phillipe appeared in subtitles.
| After playing "Fit as a Fiddle" flowers come out of Don and Cosmo's hands, what colours are they? | Singin' In The Rain
|
Red, Blue and White. The flowers are the colours of the American flag, because Don and Cosmo are so patriotic.
Dignity, always dignity. He says it at the beginning of the film, while standing on the red carpet and telling his story about how he met Lina Lamont and became famous.
Brown. Cosmo is Don's best friend. He plays the piano for Don and Lina in the pictures, to get them into the loving mood. He is hilarious in the movie! He sings a song all about making people laugh. If you watch the movie while he's singing 'Make 'Em Laugh' and you don't laugh once, there's seriously something wrong with you!
