Features: DVD
Originally released in 1976, That's Entertainment, Part 2 continues the dazzling tradition of That's Entertainment! taking up where the other one left off, presenting fabulous sequences from movie musicals and highlighting such non-singing stars as Greta Garbo, Clark Gable and the Marx Brothers. Also featured are two of the champion song and dance men of all time, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly (together for the first time since Ziegfeld Follies of 1946), acting not only as narrators but also as performers, singing and dancing in all-new numbers directed by Kelly just for the film.
"That's more than entertainment, that's pure gold." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Editor's Note
Once again MGM presents numerous clips from its own archive--and from those of other studios--to create a joyful collage of the finest musical and choreographic numbers in cinema history. Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire host the selection of clips from classic MGM comedies and musicals, which features cinematic greats such as Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor, the Marx Brothers, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds, Clark Gable, and dozens of others in a nostalgic, wistful portrait of old Hollywood.
Plot Summary
Hosted by Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT! PART 2 highlights more screen treasures featuring dance and comedy routines from some of Hollywood's most popular films. Besides the delight of having such classic, memorable movie moments assembled in one compilation, seeing a slightly older Astaire and Kelly singing and hoofing together is a cinematic treat.
