      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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What does Don Lockwood call Kathy Seldon?Singin' In The Rain

      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.

      "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!

    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!
