Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Set in 1927, Don Lockwood (Kelly) has worked his way up from being a song-and-dance man with partner Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor) to become a top movie star. His on-screen partner, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who believes that Don loves her for real, needs to have her awful singing voice dubbed with the arrival of
talkies. The girl selected is 'serious' actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), for whom Don soon falls. Musical numbers include the famous title song, as well as 'Make 'Em Laugh', 'Good Morning' and 'You Were Meant for Me'.
An American in Paris (1951)
American G.I. Jerry Mulligan (Kelly) has remained in Paris after the war to become a painter. There he falls in love with Lise Bouvier (Leslie Caron), only to discover that she is engaged to his friend, Henri Baurel (Georges Guetary). With music and songs by George and Ira Gershwin, including 'I Got Rhythm' and 'Embraceable
You', the film went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Anchors Aweigh (1945)
Kelly and Frank Sinatra star as two sailors looking for female companionship while on a four-day pass in Los Angeles. They meet a Hollywood extra (Kathryn Grayson) and try to help her realise her dream of being a star. The film features a famous sequence where Kelly dances with Jerry, the cartoon mouse of 'Tom and Jerry' fame.
On the Town (1949)
Three sailors (Kelly, Sinatra and Jules Munshin) hit New York City for a 24-hour shore leave. The first order of business is to find some women to spend it with and the boys hook up with Ivy (Vera-Ellen), an aspiring dancer, Hildy (Betty Garrett), a lady cab-driver, and Claire (Ann Miller), a paleontology student, causing mayhem across Manhattan. This was the first musical to make extensive use of location shooting rather than studio bound sets and includes the song-and-dance numbers 'New York, New York' and 'Miss Turnstiles Ballet'.

Betty Hutton (as Annie Oakley) and Howard Keel (as Frank Butler) star in this sharpshootin' funfest based on the 1,147-performance Broadway smash boasting Irving Berlin's beloved score, including Doin' What Comes Naturally, I Got the Sun in the Morning and the anthemic There's No Business like Show Business. As produced by Arthur Freed, directed by George Sidney and seen and heard in a new digital transfer from restored elements, this lavish, spirited production showcases songs and performances with bull's-eye precision, earning an Oscar* for adaptation scoring. The story is a brawling boy-meets-girl-meets-buckshot rivalry. But love finally triumphs when Annie proves that, yes, you can get a man with a gun!

Collection of five musicals from the 1940s and '50s. 'Annie Get
Your Gun' (1950) stars Betty Hutton as backwoods sharpshooter Annie
Oakley. Plucked out of obscurity by Buffalo Bill (Louis Calhern),
the rough-edged Annie is groomed for a leading role in Bill's world
famous Wild West show. However, Annie has a rival in the form of
rifleman Frank Butler (Howard Keel), a man she soon falls in love
with. Songs include 'Anything You Can Do' and 'There's No Business
Like Show Business'. In 'Easter Parade' (1948) Fred Astaire plays
one half of a dance team who is ditched by his partner. Deciding he
can make a star out of anyone he wants, he chooses a lowly chorus
girl (Judy Garland) as his new partner. Songs include 'A Couple of
Swells', 'Stepping Out With My Baby' and 'Shaking the Blues Away'.
In 'Calamity Jane' (1953) Doris Day stars as the famous
frontierswoman, who would rather hit targets than chase men - until
she falls for 'Wild Bill' Hickok (Keel). However, he would rather
shoot Indians than chase after a tomboy like Calamity Jane. Songs
include 'The Black Hills of Dakota' and the Oscar-winning 'Secret
Love'. 'High Society' (1956), based on 'The Philadelphia Story'
play by Philip Barry, stars Grace Kelly as socialite Tracy Lord
who, even as she prepares for her second marriage, still has
obvious feelings for her ex-husband (Bing Crosby). She also strikes
up a friendship with a reporter (Frank Sinatra), who has been sent
to cover her society wedding. Songs include 'Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire' and the famous Crosby/Sinatra duet 'Well, Did You
Evah'. 'Meet Me in S.Louis' (1944) follows Esther Smith (Garland),
a young woman from St. Louis who falls in love with the boy next
door. The film is set in 1904, when the city hosted the World's
Fair. Songs include 'Meet Me in St. Louis', 'Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas' and 'The Trolley Song'.
Yi Song-bok has been hailed as one of the most important
contemporary South Korean poets. His first collection of poems,
When Does a Rolling Stone Awaken, published in 1980, is a trenchant
critique of the state of mind of Koreans and of the social and
political conditions in the country at the time. His second
collection, South Sea, Silk Mountain, is a softer, quieter, more
intimate book. This volume presents a translation of the
collections in both Korean and English text, including interviews
with the author.
