A film described as the greatest musical of all time has been announced for next month's show at Rhiwbina's community cinema, Monico Movies.
Singin’ in the Rain is a 1952 musical romantic comedy directed and choreographed by Stanley Donen and its star Gene Kelly.
The film is set in Hollywood in the late 1920s, with the three main characters, played by Kelly, Donald O’Connor, and 19-year-old Debbie Reynolds in her first starring role, caught up in the film industry's transition from silent pictures to talkies.
Although only a modest success when it was released, the American Film Institute has since ranked it the number 1 movie musical of all time and the number 5 movie.
Legendary film critic Roger Ebert wrote: "Singin’ in the Rain is a transcendent experience, and no one who loves movies can afford to miss it."
It will be shown on Saturday 8 February at the usual venue, Canolfan Beulah.
Tickets are available from the usual Rhiwbina outlets: Serenade, Victoria Fearn Gallery, The Honeypot, and The Deri Stores for £5 (cash only).
Monico Movies' monthly shows start at 7.30pm, with doors open from 7pm at
Canolfan Beulah Church Community Centre, Beulah Road, CF14 6LX.
