I went into this with a mix of nerves, excitement and a note of skepticism. I’ve never really really seen a classic musical before and the question is did the film win me over or did I snub my nose at a relic from the past?

Thanks Holly for this selection!

From another question during the reaction, yes, early sound movies really were just as cumbersome to make as we see in the movie. It can be pretty fun to try to spot where the microphones are hidden based on how the actors only start talking around them, and in one direction.

haha that's kind of awesome and terrible all at once. New technology so often makes things better, then also presents new challenges. Very cool to know.

Watching this along with you made me happy 😊 even though you don’t love tap dancing 😆… I’m a millennial who started learning tap when I was fourteen, along with my younger brother. We were always musical with piano and such, but both got a sudden intense desire to learn to dance, thanks partly to friends who danced and partly to movies like this. I felt so self conscious about my “old” age for a beginner but my inspiration outweighed the self consciousness overall. (We did also branch out from tap to other forms, which I never thought I could do at all either.) And years later, an actor/dancer friend who was auditioning for the role of Cosmo in a production asked me if I could learn some of the “Moses Supposes” number from the movie and teach it to him to help him prepare, so I did - it meant a lot personally because I remembered being age 14-15ish and wanting SO much to be able to tap dance well but not sure if I ever truly could, and with this film being one of my first inspirations, I just thought how thrilled my younger self would be to see me actually being capable of learning these kinds of numbers. Plus this is just a film that lifts my spirits every time I watch it 😊 I have always loved the Golden Age of Hollywood the best despite not being born til the late 80s haha. The Jazz Singer really was the movie that set off the talkies. And the first movie that included the song “Singing’ in the Rain” (as well as “You Were Meant for Me”) was actually the real first all-talking musical in 1929, titled “The Broadway Melody”! I think you should watch it sometime purely for historic reasons 😊 It is very obviously made in the beginning of the talkies stage and it is both strange and corny now, but watching it knowing the whole background at the time I think is pretty interesting…

Lara, the flick I mentioned before - The Boy Friend (1971) - aside from it being a love poem to ole Broadway, it has the <b>best</b> tap dance fight, ever ever.<p>I mean they're not <i>fighting</i> per se, it's 2 final-boss-level tap dancers trying to outdo each other. It's one the best things period (imao).</p>
