Title: Great Expectations
Review: Donald O'Connor was great in Singing in the Rain. Der Bingle. Mitzi Gaynor. A Cole Porter score. P.G. Wodehouse on the script. How can anything go wrong? The arrangements were too dull for a memorial service. O'Connor and Gaynor danced on the deck of a cruise ship, but they tried to copy Astaire and Rogers and failed. And the love scenes? They missed the part in the script where the protagonists interact in a way that is a prelude to romance. They are suddenly just in love. Then the two females get headaches, but they weren't the only ones. Don't try to make sense of this one. It is simply a footnote in movie history to show how and why musicals disappeared from production schedules by the 1960s.
