Singing In The Rain Play Analysis

On the town was directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen who have done several films together like deep in my heart, singing in the rain and many others. Gene Kelly was born in 1912 Pennsylvania he got his big break on Broadway in 1938 as a choreographer for the time of your life. He got his big break in Hollywood when he played in for me and my gal gene Kelly was known for his athletic styles of dance in which you see in the move on the town. On the town was first a Broadway musical and was latter made into a movie in 1949. One thing the movie on the town is known for is it on set locations in New York at the end and beginning of the film the rest of the film was filmed in a back lot. Midway through the movie when Gabe who is play by Gene
Gabe goes to drop her off at her house. As he leaves Gabe finds a sign that reads A Day in New York a comedy in 3 acts with music. It then zooms in on the sigh and dissolves to the play. The play ends up being the first and second part of the movie, but we don’t get to see the third act because we don’t know what it is. To me it was summing up what was happening in the movie and/ or side tracking itself into a movie with in a movie. This also happened in Singing in the Rain with the Broadway peace where they were on a stage explaining what was happening thought the movie through a big dance number that goes on for way to long. I also found it interesting that the sigh said it was 3 acts. Which I think that it is referring to is the three-act structure that Hollywood has and has been using for years. You see the three-act structure in on the town with the setup, conflict, and the resolution.
Another similarity that I found between singing in the rain and on the town, was that all the dance numbers where filmed in long shots so you could see the people dancing from head to toe. The only exception to this is the opening song in on the town where there not dancing the sailors are just walking/ going around New
