The top mistakes in Singin' in the Rain http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1166 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:09 +0000 7046 When Gene Kelly does his classic Singin' in the Rain dance scene, it's only raining in the front half of the shot. In long shots, you can see that the back part of the scene is enjoying clear weather. And, as he goes left, the rain slants right and vice versa. 22377 In Gene Kelly's 'Singing in the Rain' sequence, the taps he makes do not match up with the actual movements of his feet - they are much more complicated than the steps he makes. Since one can't tap dance in wet loafers, Kelly had to do the dance in the studio, and the taps were added into the picture. He apparently got a little overzealous. 48125 When Gene Kelly and Donald O'Conner stop for car trouble, a trolley goes by. After Gene gets bombarded by fans and runs away, he runs after another trolley going by and jumps on. The same people are in the trolley each time. 48132 After Kathy and Don find each other again, and he's trying to tell her how he feels for her, they are walking outside on a sunny day. He opens a door to go into a set, but when the camera angle changes, it appears as though they are walking from a dimly lit hallway. 48128 During "Make 'em Laugh" Donald gets flipped off the board, and sings on the ground. There is a man sweeping next to him. You see the broom coming in and out of frame near his feet. When the shot goes long, the sweeper is behind Donald, and no one is next to him.
