History YMMV / SinginInTheRain

* HarsherInHindsight / FunnyAneurysmMoment: Thanks to [[Film/AClockworkOrange a certain film]], it can be hard to watch the titular musical number without being disturbed.
* OlderThanTheyThink: Many younger viewers [[JukeboxMusical mistakenly believe the songs are original to the film.]]

* {{Padding}}: The film is only about an hour and a half long, and quite a lot of that time is taken up by musical numbers that have almost nothing to do with the plot, like "Beautiful Girl" and ''especially'' "Broadway Melody". However, those numbers are [[MomentOfAwesome so awesome]] [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste that it's difficult to care.]]

* UnfortunateImplications: The scene including Make 'Em Laugh starts off with a pan across several different film sets. The first: A portrayal of Hollywood's DarkestAfrica, complete with TribalFacePaint and SavagePiercings. Though it ''is'' [[ValuesDissonance 19]][[TheTwenties 27]].

* VindicatedByHistory: The film did disappointing box office and was generally snubbed by the Oscars, but is now seen as one of the great movie musicals of the 20th Century. On the American Film Institute's list of top 100 movies in different categories, this movie ranks [=AFI=]'s 100 Years... 100 Movies – #10, [=AFI=]'s 100 Years... 100 Laughs – #16, [=AFI=]'s 100 Years... 100 Passions – #16, [=AFI=]'s 100 Years... 100 Songs: "Singin' in the Rain" – #3, "Make 'em Laugh" - #49, "Good Morning" – #72, [=AFI=]'s 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) – #5, and [=AFI=]'s Greatest Movie Musicals '''#1'''

* OneSceneWonder: Cyd Charisse in the "Broadway Melody" sequence.

* AwardSnub: It failed to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination when it first came out.
** Hell, it lost to ''TheGreatestShowOnEarth.'' Still, it didn't do very well in general when it first came out.

** And the part where Don dances ballet with Cyd Charrise in an abstract pink background is weird even for the sequence itself, [[UpToEleven essentially a BLAM within a BLAM.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "Broadway Melody" really takes the cake. Fourteen minutes that are a BLAM both in the actual film and the FilmWithinAFilm it's supposedly a part of! At least it's pretty fun in its own right.

*** [=BLAMception!=]

* UncannyValley: This troper finds the frozen tableau of girls in the "Beautiful Girls" number a little off-putting.
** You're not alone.

*** BLAMception!
