First time I ever saw him do that running up the wall and backflipping off of it--I was completely dumbfounded. I always wanted to learn how to do that, but never had the guts.
"Singin' in the Rain" is a fun, frivolous masterpiece.

That's my favorite number (Make 'Em Laugh) in that whole movie. Absolutely brilliant.

Since you mentioned the wall, next time you watch the sequence, watch the height O'Conner gets. Gene Kelley was recognized as a tremendous athlete as a dancer and could get great leaps during his stints. If you look close, you'll see that O'Conner was going as much as a foot above Kelley on the wall. O'Conner was probably one of the finest male dancers in Hollywood during the musical era, and was never recognized for it. Moderate singer, but amazing dancer.
