At midnight, I’ll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper. And that will be the end of the fairy tale. Roman Holiday (1953) dir. William Wyler

Any guy that’d fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined.

Gene Kelly co-directed with Stanley Donen, choreographed and starred in Singin’ in the Rain (1952), one of his most famous films. As silent film star Don Lockwood, Kelly sang and danced in the rain, cleverly using an umbrella as a prop in what would become one of the most memorable musical performances in movie history. He explained that his inspiration for the famous dance scene was the way children like to play in the rain.
