Written on December 12, 2000 Summary: "More stars than there are in the heavens" First I need to correct one of the comments made by another reviewer about skimping on the Astaire-Rogers musicals. The reason is simple. This is a collection of songs from MGM films, and the A-R films were done at RKO. They did star together in one MGM film 10 years after their last RKO film together and this one, THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY, is indeed represented.This set takes many of the songs which were represented by shortened versions in the three THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT films and gives us the full soundtrack versions and then some. Disc number six features numbers that were considered for the anthology films, but dropped due to time constraints and other issues. In all this is a fabulous collection of music from the best studio of it's era. All of the great MGM stars are on these discs, and the enclosed book gives you a detailed account of each film represented. I especially enjoy the reproductions of the original poster art which was used to advertise the films. In regards to the music, the stars, the poster art......we truly will never see the likes of this again. Written on October 29, 2000 Summary: An Excellent Anthology At ... That's Entertainment! ... However, this boxed set is worth every dollar. It's a terrific overview of the heyday of the movie musical, featuring excerpts from such classics as Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon, Show Boat, The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Silk Stockings and numerous others. What the collection captures above all else is the unique brassiness of these film classics. Movie musicals have always had a different tone than those of the stage, and this six-disc set latches onto it perfectly. The great Astaire-Rogers musicals -- Top Hat, Swing Time, and others -- are skimped on, but otherwise, there are very few short-comings to That's Entertainment! In fact, these discs are just as enjoyable as many of the films they're derived from. This collection will never leave your CD player for very long. Written on September 20, 2000 Summary: YOUR LAST CHANCE! Now, folks, there was never box set like That's Entertainment. And will never be! Rhino has deleted this wonderful set. So, if are a serious MGM musical buff, it's you last chance to get this treasure. Order now, as the folks on Amazon still have it on stock. But very soon... Well, with luck, you can try to get it on the Ebay, for the triple of the price! Don't waste you time and have Astaire, Kelly, Garland, Horne, Sinatra, Rooney, Keel and others legends inside a box! Written on June 7, 2000 Summary: Nobody made musicals as good as MGM, this is the reason why! I have just purchased "That's Entertainment: The Ultimate Anthology of MGM Musicals" box set. The music is fantastic, this really is a collectors item. The music contained in this 6CD set is nothing short of remarkable. Listening to rare outtakes of Judy Garland in the lead role of Annie Get Your Gun is only one of numerous highlights in this set. It includes a 96 page booklet and all the music has been digitally remastered from the premium sound sources available. I contacted Rhino records to find out if this box set was still available, they said that it is no longer in print. If you want to buy it, do it now before it is nolonger available to purchase. If you want "ENTERTAINMENT", you know what to do. Written on August 23, 1999 Summary: Words cannot explain my happiness! I'm driving my parents nuts blasting this CD set and belting out the songs. This is for anyone who likes showtunes, musicals, classic/old movies, or anything of the sort. Great, soooooo great. |
