Loving and appreciative, researched to a fare-thee-well, and pitched to both fans and first-time viewers of Singin' in the Rain, this delightful book delivers almost as much fun as the film itself. --<b>Jeanine Basinger</b>, author of <i>American Cinema: 100 Years of Filmmaking</i> and <i>The Star Machine</i> Very much in the vein of Harmetz's classic works on <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> and <i>Casablanca</i>, this study should become the last word on its subject. . . . a bonafide page-turner that will be welcomed by general readers and academics alike. --<b>Rick Altman</b>, author of <i>The American Film Musical</i> For those who love <i>Singin' in the Rain</i> (and who doesn't?), this is a detailed appreciation of how it happened. --<b>Harold Prince</b>, legendary producer of Broadway musicals
