Singin' in the Rain
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Despite the high quality of the 4K UHD Home Entertainment releases of Singin' in the Rain, these sets will likely not be popular and will end up languishing on shelves.
This Ultra HD Blu-ray offering from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is a stunning remaster that makes for a perfect fit for fans and is just lovely.
This 4K UHD disc offers a 5.1 remix of the original audio elements as well as the original mono track, capturing the same intensity and energy as the film and its visuals.
This two-disc release has limited extras compared to its predecessor, creating a missed opportunity.
Watching Singin' in the Rain epitomizes the genre of musicals and is an example of pure cinematic happiness.
Director: Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly
Actors: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds
Plot: A silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood.
Disc Release Date: 26 April 2022
