In 1927, silent film stars Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) are the most popular screen duo in the movies. As the industry makes the tricky transition to “talkies,” their newest romance gets reimagined as a musical, leaving them with a major problem—the leading lady can’t carry a tune!
The feature will be preceded by a special preshow, featuring era-appropriate cartoons, newsreels, and more. Newsreel images courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with The Packard Humanities Institute. Visit newsreels.net for more information.
This screening is a swag event! Your ticket comes with a special surprise giveaway.
