Film | Singin' in the Rain (1952): Classic Musical Romantic Comedy with Gene Kelly & Debbie Reynolds


When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies', everyone has trouble adapting. Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part. After a lot of practise with a diction coach, Lina still sounds terrible, and Kathy, a bright young aspiring actress, is hired to record over her voice. Directors: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell, Cyd Charisse Gene Kelly was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general public, which he called "dance for the common man". He starred in, choreographed, and, with Stanley Donen, co-directed some of the best-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Debbie Reynolds was an American actress, singer and entrepreneur. Her acting career spanned almost 70 years. Reynolds performed on stage and television and in films into her 80s. She was nominated for several Golden Globes, and a Tony Award. She won an Academy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Jaquira Díaz, Assistant Professor of Writing at Columbia University and Lambda Literary Award Finalist, discusses her new novel, This is the Only Kingdom, with Edwidge Danticat, African American and African Diaspora Studies. Book Synopsis: When Maricarmen meets Rey el Cantante, beloved small-time Robin Hood and local musician on the rise, she begins to envision a life beyond the tight-knit community of el Caserío, Puerto Rico—beyond cleaning houses, beyond waiting tables, beyond the constant tug of war between the street hustlers and los camarones. But breaking free proves more difficult than she imagined, and she soon finds herself struggling to make a home for herself, for Rey, his young brother Tito, and eventually, their daughter Nena. Until one fateful day changes everything. Fifteen years later, Maricarmen and Nena find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation as the community that once rallied to support Rey turns against them. Now, Nena, a teenager haunted by loss and betrayal and exploring her sexual identity, must learn to fight for herself and her family in a world not always welcoming.

Book Discussion | Hear about Homesick for a World Unknown, a Book on Ape Researcher George B. Schaller (In Person AND Online!)


Hear about Homesick for a World Unknown, in which Miriam Horn draws on thousands of pages from George B. Schaller's journals and letters, globe-spanning interviews, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. Schaller and his wife, Kay, established a home in the jungle and came to share apes' rhythms and rules. After more than two years of immersive research--a groundbreaking methodology he would spend his life honing--Schaller transformed how the world viewed gorillas; they were not murderous brutes but tender creatures, and more like humans than any twentieth-century scientist had recognized. His mission to revolutionize our perceptions of wild animals would propel him across four continents and inspire generations of scientists.
