The naivety of musicals from the early days of Hollywood reflect the overall "simple" attitude to life in the western world. Entertainment was simple, glamorous and mostly eye candy (very much like today’s Bollywood movies I recently complained about).

Cyd Charisse was one of the Goddesses of Eye Candy and dance. She had a grace and beauty you won’t find in any modern movie or music video on MTV.

An era comes to an end.

Dreamlike sequence from "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelly.

And another hot scene from "Singing in the Rain".
