Don't judge me, but I think everything about Lina is adorable. Including her voice. She's definitely one of my favorite characters, like ever. I love her too darn hard.
There's a good number of screen actors today who could use diction training. What's the point of sounding naturalistic if the audience can't understand what they're saying??!!!
Surprisingly, it's not. In a film about actors with good voices dubbing actors with the wrong voices, it's ironic that a lot of Debbie Reynolds' speaking wasn't her voice at all - it was Jean Hagen dubbing her! You can tell which parts are Debbie's real voice by whether or not it's got a Western twang to it.
Sublime. I watch this amazing movie every Easter...although I do not know why I pick that particular day. This scene makes me crazy. She...THEY are glorious.

Jean Hagen. One of America's national treasures. No award in those days could adequately honor her achievement in this movie. Now that almost 60 years on we all know how exceptional she was as Lina Lamont, she needs a posthumous Oscar or her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her superbly played role in Singing In The Rain.
lmfao!!!!!! OMIGOD SHES HILARIOUS!!! we were watching this movie in theatre class today, and this seen comes up, and im just laughing my ass off, and my teacher is like
"sereena is there any way you caayynnntt stop laughing?"
@kirasheart69 Absolutely not!!!!! Watch a video of 'Asphalt Jungle' and some TV series (I don't remember the title) I found a few months ago just to hear Jean's real voice - she had nice deep normal voice! The voice you hear in 'The Duelling Cavalier' is her own!
I also like the bit where she says "Do you think I'm dumb or something". They all look at each other as if to say yes but say to her "No Lena cause not".

It's great to see Kathleen Freeman in this performance. Usually she plays a different kind of character. I can't think of her without thinking about the maid she played in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and the line she kept saying: "They'll charge ya for it!"
Lina Lamont is one of the GREAT movie characters. Jean Hagen should have won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar....sadly she was only nominated. This is the BEST part she ever had...and she does WONDERS with it. THANKS a ton for sharing this delightful gem with us! May you & yours have a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving holiday! :)
I second that emotion, mfso! I appreciate your insightful & "right on" comment so VERY much! It's a shame the late great Ms Hagen wasn't given more memorable roles like this one! And remember: "ROUND TONES"!!! Though, come to think of it, has anyone ever heard a SQUARE tone??? :-)
love this! my friend sent this to me.. and now i totally want to see the movie! any good reasons to see it other than the fact that gene kelly is AHmazingly handsome? ;)
Jean Hagen is my absolute favorite actress in this movie! She was so funny and brilliant that even my 14 year old will actually sit and watch this incredible musical. Everyone is so wonderful in this film, but Jean Hagen was a scene stealer. I have two favorites of this film, this scene and the Cyd Charisse (green dress) and Gene Kelly dance sequence.
It's ironic that Debbie Reynold's speaking voice is actually a little squeaky, so in the dialogue dubbing scenes it was actually Jean dubbing Debbie dubbing her!
"It makes us feel as though our hard work ain't beein vain for nothing."
the whole movie is sheer perfection ..all of it..but this is the scene that always makes me piss in my pants!! Jean Hagen with that accent was a joy and a total delight not only to watch but to listen to!! and she practically stole the show from eveyone ....and that's not easy with a trio like Kelly-Reynolds-O'Connor and the wonderful Cyd Charisse!! That's all! I 'cayyyn't' go on: must watch this clip again!!
Don't judge me, but I think everything about Lina is adorable. Including her voice. She's definitely one of my favorite characters, like ever. I love her too darn hard.
