"Make 'Em Laugh" - Donald O'Connor (from 1952's SINGIN' IN THE RAIN): An Analysis by Joseph Gomez
Loading...
Uploaded by josephagomez on Apr 16, 2010
This musical sequence from the 1952 film SINGIN' IN THE RAIN features Donald O'Connor in perhaps the most iconic and gleefully performed dance scene ever filmed for the movies (next to the title number as performed by co-director and choreographer Gene Kelly). In the online essay series "Observations on a Shot," TheMoviePool.com contributor Joseph Gomez explains the use of framing, staging and choreography, and O'Connor's effervescent performance to further deepen the appreciation of this classic cinematic masterpiece. A select few notes and annotations have been added from his analysis and implemented into the video here.

I actually really like the annotations. I've never looked at this scene in that way before but it has made me realise how clever they were. Obviously analysing films is something you are very interested in.

Finally! So many people have posted that movie fragment on YouTube, but all of them done it in a very poor quality. So thank you, josephagomez :).

@3zyPL One of the reasons I chose to write about this sequence was because I thought it needed a cleaner and higher quality clip available. So it gave me an excuse to make one myself. Thanks for the comment.
