“Singin’ in the Rain” (Symbolism and Interpretation): An Alternative 

Interpretations of Freud applied in Singin in the Rain …

“The staircase symbol: ‘Ladders, steps and staircases, or, more precisely, walking on them, are clear symbols of sexual intercourse. On reflection, it will occur to us that the common element here is the rhythm of walking up them.’ Symbolism is like a language, but one which, curiously, the dreamer has not learned. Knowledge of the language is unconscious, but this, according to Freud, is more problematic than unconscious ‘endeavours’ (wishes and impulses).”
