- In Singin' in the Rain, "The Broadway Ballet" functions as a map to the film industry's dark underbelly. The corruption of filmdom is evidenced by blacklisting, infiltration of mobsters, and general hypocrisy, which Gene Kelly addresses by crossreferencing the ballet to the musical's main storyline and by alluding to syphilis.
