Usually when you hear "documentary" you think BORING. Not this one. It's so fun to watch, that's why I ask for it at christmas.Everyone knows I'm an MGM freak. Anyone else who is interested in musicals will adore this. There are sort of mini-interviews with a big bunch of the people who where involved in the production of your favorite Arthur Freed musicals. People like Gene Kelly, Betty Comden, Saul Chaplin, Stanley Donen, Adolf Green, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron, André Prévin, Micheal Kidd, Mickey Rooney, Vincent Minelli and others I can't recall write now. And some people who where not available (decesed or otherwise) where talked about as well, like Judy Garland, Kay Thompson, Fred Astaire, Irene Sharaff, Roger Edens, Conrad Salinger, Robert Alton, Lela Simone and, of course, Arthur Freed. It's filled with wonderful musical numbers from your favorite films and including some LOST FOOTAGE of Judy Garland as Annie Oakley singing "Doin' what comes naturely". There are also many beautiful candid photos taken on the studio lot or recording stage. In short, this is a wonderfully intertaining piece of film and... don't look now but... it's educational too. Perfect for a 15 year old girl, such as me, who craves for some behind-the-scenes talk. I defenetly recommend this to anyone who loves, or just wants to know more about the most popular for of entertainment from the 30' through the 50's. So GET IT, sit back, and relish the feeling of getting an inside look at The Freed Unit of MGM.
