PITTSBURGH — There’s never a bad time to revisit “Singin’ in the Rain.” There are few better, though, than the film’s 70th anniversary.
The film starring East Liberty native and legendary dancer Gene Kelly began charming audiences in 1952 and has endured as a cinematic classic featuring some of the most iconic musical numbers ever committed to film. Multiple generations of moviegoers probably have the titular track, “Good Morning” and “Make ‘Em Laugh” permanently etched into their brains at this point.
To commemorate the anniversary, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is rereleasing “Singin’ in the Rain” in an Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack that includes a 4K restoration of the original film. That version of “Singin’ in the Rain” comes out Tuesday.
