3. When I was a kid,

before the days of VCRs, I'd stay up to any hour required any night of the week to see that movie.

You know Betty Comden just died, right?

6. In the liner notes of my soundtrack CD, it states that Betty Comden and

Adolph Green were hired to write the movie around some old songs MGM owned the rights to, all of which were from the 1920s. They sat down to think about what was newsworthy in that decade and came up with the idea for the silents to talkie transition plot. Pretty inspired.

8. "Dignity. Always Dignity"

While "SITR" isn't my favorite movie musical..."The Bandwagon" is..."Singin' in the Rain" is a masterpiece. I love it.
