Favorite Scene
My favorite scene from Singinapos; in the Rain is definitely the "Make apos;Em Laugh" musical number performed by Cosmo (Donald Oapos;Connor). The whole sequence is funny, wacky, and unbelievably acrobatic. Oapos;Connor literally runs up walls while he sings, dance, mugs, and cavorts for the audienceapos;s enjoyment. Fantastic

My favorite scene from The Thin Man is when Nick (William Powell) introduces Nora (Myrna Loy) to a man named MacCaulay (Porter Hall). The evening before, Nora had attempted to match her husbandapos;s drinking, consisting of six martinis. So when she emerged to meet Mr. MacCaulay, she had a hot water compress on her head. What followed then was, wordlessly, the essence of the film. The completely silly things the two of them do to each other (I honestly canapos;t describe them here...much too visual) made me love this film.

ADVANTAGE: The Thin Man

Watch on a Whim?
Singinapos; in the Rain is a great film, but as a musical itapos;s a bit involved, and makes it a little harder to watch on a whim. The Thin Man is very light and easy to fall into.

ADVANTAGE: The Thin Man

Plot
The plot of Singinapos; in the Rain takes place in the 1930s, at the time technology is moving motion pictures into the talking era. Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) are the two major silent-era stars in Hollywood, and both are having a hard time adjusting to the new paradigm. Lockwood, his friend Cosmo (Oapos;Connor), and up-and-coming star Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) spend their time singing, dancing, and trying to adjust to talkies.

The Thin Man concerns the disappearance of a man named Clyde Wynant (Edward Ellis). The plot thickens when a body is discovered in Wynantapos;s office, and heapos;s suspected of foul play. Wynantapos;s daughter Dorothy convinces old friend Nick Charles (Powell) to help her prove her fatherapos;s innocence. A lifelong gumshoe, Nick is trying to stay retired, but his wife Nora (Loy) continues to egg him on to solve the case.
