SInging in the Rain

The "Broadway's Melody" is definitely a different style from the rest of "Singing in the Rain", but I don't think it should be cut. It adds a whole summary of the movie in a short story. It gives more of a background to the main characters start in the movie business, but in a creative way. They use more of a flash forward rather than a flash back. The clip shows him trying to get an agent, changing himself to get an agent, working on burlesque, him working on Vaudeville, and him finally making it to Broadway. The directors do a good job of summarizing the movie and fitting it into the movie they are creating within the film. Although I think "Broadway Melody's" adds to the movie, I would cut the part about the love story. In my opinion him chasing the girl, that doesn't appear in the rest of the film, is distracting the viewers from the love story he is already in with Catherine. Maybe they should have used the same actress in both to make it less distracting and confusing.
