It’s raining and I love a good cliche. So, I’m going to rewatch Singing in the Rain.

I’m also going to take this moment to dote all over Donald O’ Conner in this movie. I realize there can be more than one star in a film but ever since I first saw this movie as a kid he has always stolen the show for me.

He is absurdly funny, and the delivery of his witticism’s and quips is just so sharp and fresh. His dancing is astounding, for Gene being historically recognized as the famous dancer, Donald feels hot on his heels through many, if not all the dance numbers. His moves and facial expressions are spring loaded and full of character and story. It’s very obvious in “Make ‘Em Laugh” but also really evident and fun to watch in “Moses Supposes���.

And who can resist those big baby blues on the man. Very charming.

I only found this photo today, so let’s pretend it’s still Easter and I’m presenting you with a picture of Boris Karloff with baskets full of (Easter) eggs!

I don’t have a date for the image I’m afraid, but I’m guessing it’s from the late 1930s and taken at the Karloff’s home in Hollywood.
