1. Is your top pic of Charisse and Kelly in 'Deep In My Heart'?

Its fabulous! :hi:

[CBHagman]

3. That's a "Singin' in the Rain" shot.

Charisse was an unbelievable dancer, not that Kelly was any slouch in that department either!

[Matilda]

2. And I have memories of trying to run up the wall

after I first saw "Singin' In The Rain". "Make "em Laugh" is still my favourite number from that
film.

[CBHagman]

4. I have memories of that as well...

I went to see Singin' in the Rain at the student union when I was a university student, and my date grumbled, "I don't think that was him" when Donald O'Connor ran up the wall. Classic movies are practically a screening test, aren't they, when it comes to relationships...
