That's Entertainment!

That's Entertainment! (1974) starring too many greats to mention. The actors who made the first 50 years of MGM musicals are celebrated in this look back from the vantage point of 1974 -- which now seems like so long ago itself. Among the artists whose works appear are Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Cyd Charisse, Donald O'Connor, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Debbie Reynolds, Bing Crosby, Esther Williams and Jimmy Durante. It's a grand nostalgia tour for those who are old enough to remember movies of the '30s, '40s and '50s, but for younger viewers it probably won't do much. (The subtitles included on the disc are poor, but closed captions are also available.) Grade: B+
