| | | The musical of musicals!
Features: DVD
That's Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling. That's Judy Garland and Deanna Durbin dueting long before they became America's sweethearts. That's the Big Schnozzola warblin' Singin' In The Rain (yes, Jimmy Durante tackled it in Speak Easily). That's everything from Anchors Aweigh to Ziegfeld Follies, from Babes On Broadway to toddlers in arms (a very young Liza Minnelli in In The Good Old Summertime), from splashy razzmatazz to splashing in puddles. That's Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller, Eleanor Powell, Frank Sinatra, Esther Williams--125 stars in scenes from nearly 100 films. That's Entertainment!, Jack Haley, Jr.'s lovingly compiled celebration of Hollywood's Golden Era musicals, more than lives up to its title. If you had to choose one film musical to take with you for a long stay or a deserted island, you couldn't go wrong with this one.
