Movie Reviews

Worthy to be the centerpiece of any Hollywood history DVD sh
Midwest Book Review | Oregon, WI USA | 10/10/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hosted by Academy Award winning stage, screen, and TV star Shirley Jones, Hollywood Singing and Dancing: A Musical History is a celebration of Hollywood musicals throughout history up to the present day. From the exciting choreography that brought cheer to the darkest times of the Great Depression, to wartime showtunes that fired up America's fighting spirit, to modern smash hits such as "Chicago" and "Dreamgirls", Hollywood Singing and Dancing is an amazing tour. Worthy to be the centerpiece of any Hollywood history DVD shelf, Hollywood Singing and Dancing: A Musical History comes highly recommend. 108 minutes, with 120 minutes of bonus footage."
Pretty good, but missing Astaire
G. Misthos | 01/05/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Sorry, but this is not a five star product. It has many fine moments, but it races through the 1930's, and there is about thirty seconds or less of Fred Astaire dancing with Ginger Rogers. There are no scenes of Astaire in the 1940's, and only the number from Royal Wedding where he dances on the ceiling is shown from the 1950's. It is inexcusable to virtually ignore Astaire in the 30's and all of the 40's--his RKO musicals in the 1930's with Rogers saved the studio and were break throughs in the genre. There are plenty of good scenes and interviews, but almost ignoring Astaire brings my rating down, and deservedly so."
Hollywood singing and dancing
Thomas Kuwahara | Anaheim, CA | 06/18/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A wonderful overall history of music and dance in the movies. My only complaint would be it's too broad a subject to be covered in just 2 discs.

I especially enjoyed the interviews."
