That’s Entertainment III

Lena Horne luxuriates in a bath during CABIN IN THE SKY. Cyd Charisse vamps through THE BAND WAGON’S ‘Two-Faced Woman’. Judy Garland leads a street-swelling ‘March of the Dougies’ in THE HARVEY GIRLS. Unforgettable scenes all – and all but forgotten because they wre cut from their respective films. Remarkable moments you couldn’t see until now make up much of this star-studded salute to the golden era of musicals. Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney, Esther Williams and six more luminaries host the eye-filling dream-factory clips. Other highlights: Stagehands scrambling to move sets and stay ahead of dancer Eleanor Powell’s ‘Fascinatin’ Rhythm’, the Ross Sisters contorting like soft pretzels and Garland and Rooney redefining pizzazz. “What a time it was” Kelly says. In this marvelous treat, what a time it still is.
