A perfect tribute to the greatest musical talents we’ll ever see!

That’s Entertainment!I saw this movie occasionally on PBS when I was a kid and I bought the collector’s edition of the entire series in ’98 and each time I watch it I feel more and more nostalgic about the old Hollywood musicals-a genre of which we’ll never see an equal. Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron, Eleanor Powell and Ann Miller are the stars who really show off their great talents in this production of selected clips which include highlights of “Broadway Melody of 1938”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Meet Me in St. Louis”, “An American in Paris”, “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “High Society” among others. There’s also a whole roster of legendary guest stars: Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford, James Stewart, Mickey Rooney, Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby and even Liza Minelli just at the start of her career. They introduce some of the greatest moments in the history of the MGM Musical genre. It’s great fun for anyone who loves the musicals of a gone-forever age.

showcasing MGM’s finest

That’s Entertainment! In the mid-seventies, when MGM as a producing force in studio history was pretty much dead, a couple of researchers started to put together a compilation of the greatest moments from the birth of the talkie to Gigi’s glut of Academy Awards at the end of the 1950s. The idea of this first ‘That’s Entertainment!’ was to showcase the cream of the musicals, using a number of MGM’s former contact stars (Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Taylor, Mickey Rooney et al) to link segments together.

The result was so breathtaking and brilliant that two further sequels followed; one almost immediately, and the third after a gap of twenty years, in time for MGM’s seventieth birthday. This first compilation shows us sequences from ‘An American In Paris’, ‘Singin’ In The Rain’, ‘The Harvey Girls’, ‘Hollywood Revue’, and on, and on. It has special segments devoted to Astaire, Kelly, Garland, Garland with Rooney, and, er, Esther Williams.

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Wild in the Country

Easy way to get to see an old magnificant movie with superstars. Delivered within 48 hours, downloaded in good quality few minutes with soundtrack in three languages.

Fantastic, thank you so much

i purchased this from you several months ago

i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.

These copied burned movies not original It’sa shame

Download movies

I have used the Rare & Collectables for a few year and find no problem with them. I mainly go for downloads instead of buying the movie.

10/10 service

Thanks so much. Great film.
