Warner Celebrates 70 Years of Singin' in the Rain by Splashing the Classic Film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on April 26
Posted Wed Mar 2, 2022 at 08:11 AM PST by Tom LandyOne of the most beloved films ever to hit the silver screen will be celebrating its 70th anniversary on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on April 26.
The classic musical romantic comedy stars Gene Kelly, Golden Globe Best Actor-Winner Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchel and Cyd Charisse, and was directed and choreographed by Kelly and Stanley Donen (On the Town).
In 1989, Singin' in the Rain was one of the first 25 films selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film ranked 10th on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies list, 16th on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Laughs list, 16th on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Passions list, “Singin’ In The Rain” was 3rd on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs list, and the film was number 1 on AFI’s Greatest Movie Musicals list.
The remastered film showcases 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and although this release doesn't specify the soundtrack,we would hopefully assume that it comes with Dolby Atmos.
