When the silent screen learns to speak, love has to find its voice too

When Hollywood's silent era gives way to talkies, a dashing screen idol and a gifted newcomer navigate romance, rivalry, and the comic chaos of reinventing the movies.

Amid the scramble to salvage a studio's first talkie, a charming leading man and an unexpectedly talented newcomer find themselves tangled in both professional rivalry and a budding romance. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds lead this dazzling musical comedy about the wild, joyful upheaval of Hollywood's great transition.
