When a Hollywood studio has to switch to sound film in 1928, the career of silent film great Lina Lamont is jeopardized because her squeaky voice is unsuitable for the new medium. So the young starlet Kathy Selden is asked to lend her voice to Lina - an idea that the spirited diva does not agree with at all...Hollywood classic, regarded as the best American musical film of all time.

Don Lockwood is a sought-after silent film star who celebrates great success with his film partner Lina Lamont. But as the talkies begin to establish themselves with great strides, the studio bosses are confronted with the reality that Lina's horrible beeping voice is unsuitable for speaking roles. Bad for her career. Then a colleague has the idea that saves the day: the costume drama currently in production is to become a musical and the young starlet Kathy Selden is to lend her voice to Lina. An idea that the spirited diva does not agree with, as she sees Kathy as competition and therefore tries everything she can to prevent her success...Hollywood film classic, regarded as the best American musical film of all time.
