Everybody looks at me so weird when I tell them about how I love these musicals and this time period (I'm only 15) and I'm like "what the hell are you talking about! THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC!" Donald O'Conner, Gene Kelly all of them. What has gone wrong in todays world?
I'm watching singing in the rain in my class for the first time and I was completely blown away by this scene. I just had to look it up as soon as possible.
he was in the hospital for a week after he did this scene , he was smoking a box of cigarets a day when they where filming this movie. it must hurt to throw yourself down like that on concrete (theres concrete under that carpet)
@IsabelleOldies Donald was not in the hospital...he just needed a few days rest...as he said in an interview, the floor was concrete and his body just had to absorb this tremendous shock. He did have to redo it because the film was fogged...he said it was better the 2nd time....Donald is the BEST!!
@superstarkirblondie This was all Donald....he came up with it all...as Kelly said this number was all Donald - brilliant!!!!!!! Such an incredible talent and such an ADORABLE man - he won the Golden Globe for this!!!!
@Thydudedruid non a 1.15 sa chemise sort d'un coté seulement...plan suivant elle sort completement...ce qui n'enleve rien,bien sur, a la performance...d'ailleurs le film entier est une performance :o)
@Thydudedruid It actually almost killed Donald O'Connor. He smoked 4 packs a day, and he was so exhausted after doing this, he had to go to the hospital. Even worse, the original take was ruined by an accident, so he had to do it all over again after getting out. A true professional, they don't make them like that anymore.
@bailinnumberguy it was actually all in one take! no trick photography. no editing. and certainly no stunt double! ;D you know that crash in the end? he was actually surprised and DIDN"T KNOW that it wasn't a wall! so he went and finished the scene really quick. but the editor and the director thought that that was so much better (and more hilarious!), they decided to keep it! ^v^ just thought you might want to know a fun little fact about the movie. :)
@GleaMichelphaba actually, he was a heavy smoker and after doing this, he needed a 3 day break. then the studio lost the tape somehow and he had to do it again! poor Donald :( but no, he didn't have a fever.
I just watch "singing in the rain" for the forst time in my life. And I do not know if it's too early to say that this part^^ is my favorite part of the movie.
A girl at a regionals did this song and routine, and she did it in heels. D: But she didn't do the backflips, so Donald O'Connor is still the best. ;D
@thelucidconspiracist You are so right!! Loads of us think he went much better with Debbie than Gene did - she also looks more at Donald - watch them on the sofa in the Good Morning number. He WAS the most ADORABLE man, as actresses said who worked with him - several said they fell in love with him whenever they worked with him - they said they couldn't help it - he was so wonderful - see my channel, and friends' channels, for great pictures, videos, clips , montages, and tributes - DONALD!
Holy shit, he's energetic as hell o___o He makes running up walls and doing backflips so easy, I wish I could do that stuff :[ I wonder if I could if I wasn't distracted by the internet haha.
Donald O'Connor is so legendary and this song... I just love this song!!! This whole movie i will watch anytime, any where. How can anyone dislike this video? I can quote the movie and sing all the songs... but this is my absolute favorite scene
@maddiep33 You're so right - Donald was the BEST - adorable and unbelievably talented - his other terrific movies have fabulous performances, as well...he could do this hysterically brilliant number and then dance sooooooo romantically and elegantly with Vera-Ellen in Call Me Madam and loads of others.
