Not really a showtune, you protest. In fact, “Moses Supposes” was the only song from Singin’ In The Rain that hadn’t been previously used in other MGM musicals. The lyrics, such as they are, are by musical theater Olympians Betty Comden and Adoph Green, which therefore makes this a showtune.

Even if you disagree, it’s four of the most deliriously marvelous minutes Hollywood has ever produced. Plus Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor.

    This is probably my favorite scene/song in Singin’ in the Rain, and consequently in all of musical cinema. Thanks for the trivia, and for the joyful Saturday Morning.

    The only bad thing one can say about Gene Kelly is that he was no Fred Astaire.

    Really great clip. I supposes!
