5/5 Best Musicals
  by dahoff
This video arrived and I couldnt wait to get this in the DVD player and watch my favorite musical "Meet me in St Louis" the others are just a bonus for me, never seen them so looking forward to watching them all.

5/5 Great deal for movies
  by Lola-li (Los Angeles, CA)
I was looking for a good gift. My wife is a musicals geek and she wanted this titles very badly but they where expensive and we don't have to much space left for dvd cases. Then, voila! everything in 2 dvd's and for a very good price...

5/5 four all-time classic movies for an unmissable price!
  by Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood)
A great space-saving alternative for those whose DVD collections are getting slightly out of hand, or an ideal gift for that special someone you know who just can't get enough classic movies! This set focuses on four of the greatest MGM musicals.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN: Arguably regarded as the greatest musical ever made, this breezy delight stars Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds in a story about the pandemonium that ensued when the "Talkies" first took over Hollywood. Special Features: audio commentary hosted by Debbie Reynolds, and the trailer.

EASTER PARADE: Fred Astaire came out of retirement to star opposite Judy Garland in this all-time easter favourite built around the Irving Berlin song catalogue. Ann Miller steals the whole show with her energetic "Shakin' the Blues Away"--which she performed while still nursing a broken back! Special Features: audio commentary by Ava Astaire McKenzie and John Fricke, and a Judy Garland trailer gallery.

THE BAND WAGON: Get aboard with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse for the rollicking story of the creation of a new Broadway musical! Special Features: audio commentary by Liza Minnelli and Michael Feinstein, and a Fred Astaire trailer gallery.

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS: Judy Garland was never more appealing than when she played lovestruck Esther Smith in this nostalgic turn-of-the-century delight, which also boasts a winning performance from young Margaret O'Brien. Special Features: all-new introduction from Liza Minnelli, audio commentary by John Fricke, and a Vincente Minnelli trailer gallery.

4/5 BACK IN TIME
  by Jan C. Garza-villarreal (BAKERSFIELD,CA)
REALLY ENJOYED THE WONDERFUL MUSIC AND DANCING FROM AN ERA GONE BY. GOOD COLOR AND LOVELY SETTINGS. JUST A JOY TO RELAX AND WATCH.

4/5 3 outa 4
  by M. Adams
Hadn't seen bandwagon, or easter parade, but I love Meet me in St. Louis, and singing in the rain. Really loved Easter Parade, but HATED Bandwagon. But the rest of the musicals are wonderful. It would have been better with Carousel instead of bandwagon. But great price for 3 clasics.

Turner Classic Movies' Greatest Classic Films Collection: American Musicals collects four movies on two double-sided discs, with top picture quality and the bonus features that appeared on disc 1 when all of the films were released on two-disc sets. Here the subject is classic musicals from the glory days of MGM, starting with the greatest of them all, Singin' in the Rain (1952), with Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor turning out classic routines set in the early days of Hollywood. Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) was one of Judy Garland's milestone pictures, in which she was directed by her future husband, Vincente Minnelli, and sings the great "Trolley Song," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Boy Next Door." Shift forward a few years to a pair of Fred Astaire movies, Easter Parade (1948), in which he plays a veteran dancer trying to train Garland to replace Ann Miller as his vaudeville partner, and The Band Wagon (1953), MGM's affectionate spoof of its own musical stable, directed by Minnelli and costarring Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Jack Buchanan and Nanette Fabray. Songs from the last two pictures include "A Couple of Swells," "Better Luck Next Time," "By Myself," "A Shine on Your Shoes," "Triplets," and "That's Entertainment." The two-sided discs lack most of the bonus features from the individual two-disc sets, but do include the content that was on the movie disc, including trailers and a commentary track for each movie. --David Horiuchi
