YICC Night At the Movies
Saturday, January 4, 2020 • 7 Tevet 5780
7:15 PM - 10:00 PMHosted at the home of Susie and Sam PorgessOur own Robert J. Avrech, an Emmy Award winning screenwriter and film historian will present "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and in her very first movie the 19 year-old Debbie Reynolds. “Singin' in the Rain” is often considered the finest musical of all time. Certainly this lavish movie has it all: classic musical numbers and a witty script that's unusually sharp and satiric for a musical comedy, especially one making fun of the industry that produced it. Asked to name the top 10 moments in the history of movies, most people would include the title number from this movie, in which Kelly splashes and sings in the rain -- a "glorious feeling" that's contagious. As always, Robert's behind-the-scenes stories of this Hollywood production are riveting and entertaining. Robert will discuss Debbie Reynolds' astonishing career, her difficult personal life—including three disastrous marriages. As an extra bonus Robert will dissect director Stanley Donen's secret Jewish life.
