From Amazon.co.uk
Singin' in the Rain is probably the most treasured musical in the history of cinema. It is essentially a satire on the dawning age of talking pictures, but that description doesn't begin to describe its importance in the hearts of film lovers, even those who can't otherwise stand musicals. Given its origins--producer Arthur Freed wanted a framework on which to hang a selection of the hits he'd written in the early part of his career with Nacio Herb Brown, many of which had themselves featured in early talkies--it should have been a mongrel of a picture. But somehow, with its combination of endearing performances, the razor-sharp script of Adolph Green and Betty Comden, instinctive direction from Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen and those delightful songs, it is triumphantly greater than the sum of its parts.
Kelly's dance sequence, conceived for the title song, is an undiluted joy and remains an iconic cinema moment. But there is so much more to savour: Donald O'Connor's knockout vaudeville, Jean Hagen's hilarious Bronx-voiced leading lady and the honest charm of underrated Debbie Reynolds, crowned by Kelly's choreography for the Broadway Melody suite. No collection is complete without this.

After seeing the 60th Anniversary Ultimate Collection box set promoted on the internet I was very keen to get my hands on one and now I have, it doesn't disappoint in the slightest!!!!
The 60th Anniversary box set was obviously given lots of thought by Warner Bros. as it's been put together extremely well indeed and presented just beautifully!! Even the little finishing touches are particulary amazing (the raindrops on the outer sleeve and the embossed umbrella silhouettes all over the box, book and DVD packaging as well!!). In this superb collection you get a very interesting hard back book about the film and the actors involved, replicas of the original movie theatre posters (in minature form of course!!) three discs (2 DVDs and 1 Blu-Ray - the 2 DVDs are the same as the 50th Anniversary box set DVDs) and although they are region 1 I was still able to watch them on my PC!! As Amazon tells us, not all multi-region DVDs play on all multi-region DVD players so do be aware of that before buying!! And finally you also get a smashing 60th Anniversary umbrella as well (with a really cool little umbrella charm attached to the handle!!). I can SO envisage myself dancing down the road with my 'Singin In The Rain' umbrella!!!!
All in all I'd say that this is a fantastic collectors edition of one othe greatest movie musicals of all time, so it's really worth buying!! And of course the movie is just brilliant as well and proves that it really is a timeless classic!! I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched the movie, however I never get bored of it!! Now that's the sign of a true classic in my opinion!!!!
It's safe to say that if you get hold of this amazing box set you won't be disappointed!!
It cetainly put "A SMILE ON MY FACE"!!!!

Just received tne new Blu Rsy version of the 60th Anniversary release of this movie.
Have to say the picture quality for a movie of this age is stunning. Notice that Gene Kelly hss a scar on his left cheek which I've never noticed before (I have movie on DVD).
If you love this movie, you'll love this version. Worth every penny.
Sound is DTS-HD Master. Good, but don't expect the full blown HD sound experience you get with more modern movies.

My Singin' in the Rain Blu Ray / DVD pack arrived today... one movie short. I was led to think by the title "Singin' in the Rain - 60th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition (Blu-ray + DVD)" that I was getting a Blu ray AND remastered DVD version of the film, but noooo.
Even the Amazon review itself talked about the dvd, but was there one, nooooo.
I bought this because I thought they had done an up to date remastered version of my favourite film for DVD and the Blu Ray copy I could just keep for if I ever decide to buy a Blu Ray player.
Instead the dvd disc in here is merely a small selection of extra features. Massively disappointed. The film is an all time classic, but the way it is marketed here left me thinking I was getting two versions of it. Buyer beware

Enduring all time classic.
Enduring all time classic. I first saw this film in the 1950s and it is just as fresh today as it was then. The songs, the dance routines, the dialogue. Read more

A blu-ray gem
This is a beautiful blu-ray. Now the musical looks a lot better in high-definition. Buy this movie and enjoy. You have to own this blu-ray in your collection.

Singin' in the Rain
This is exactly what I expected. The book is small, but very nice. The transfer is great. There are new extras, in HD, and it comes with the soundtrack.
