Doing a little research for an article I want to write about Singin' in the Rain, I saw this on Wikipedia:

"In an early draft of the script, the musical number 'Singin' in the Rain' was to be sung by Reynolds, O'Connor, and Kelly on their way back from the flop preview of The Dueling Cavalier."

o.0

Can you imagine? I mean, seriously -- can you imagine? I suppose it would have been something like "Good Morning," only -- outside! In the rain! Which . . . just . . . wow. (I feel like Arthur on Cabin Pressure when he gets overwhelmed and incoherent. I'll be saying "BRILLIANT!" next.)

Obviously I'm very, VERY happy with the "Singin' in the Rain" number that we did end up getting, plus we got "Good Morning" thrown in for the three of them. No complaints. But it's so much fun to try to picture what it would have been like!

Ooh!

Though, since we got "Good Mornin" I'm not complaining.

That ties in the credits and promo stills of all three of them in raincoats!

Man, I wish we had gotten that as an extra or something! It's so fabulous just to think about it...

Heee, I love snippets of movie trivia like this! All those last-minute changes in casting or original plotlines that were edited. It's fascinating to imagine the potential for what could have been, for good or ill, in fiction. :D

Wow! That would have been neat to see! :)
