Yesterday, one of our editors launched a new book into production: a history and sort of behind the scenes book about Singin' in the Rain. (It's a very different book for us. It also looks like a lot of fun.) I was one of a few at the meeting who had never seen the movie. What does all of that mean? Why an opportunity for me to create a poll, of course!

I actually saw it in the theater. The Musuem played it as a double feature with An American in Paris once when I was a kid, and my mom took me and my siblings to see them both. We loved them both, but we loved Singin' In the Rain more. I'm certain that I've seen it few dozen times since then, and it never fails to make me laugh and smile. I, like all the other women in my family, had a crush on Gene Kelly after seeing it.

I need to purchase this book as soon as it is available.

Also, you need to see the movie! Possibly the best Hollywood musical of all time!!!

It'll be out in spring. Aprilish or thereabouts. I can hook you up. (The acquiring editor said it was the most fun he had ever had with a manuscript.)
