Plot Synopsis:

Representing some of the most requested titles in WHV's vast library, 'That's Entertainment: The Complete Collection' presents MGM's acclaimed musical anthologies - 'That's Entertainment!,' 'That's Entertainment, Part 2' and 'That's Entertainment! III' - in a special edition three-disc giftset.

First released in 1974 to mark MGM's 50th Anniversary and to celebrate the golden era of the greatest movie musicals ever made, the first film in the series, 'That's Entertainment,' showcases 125 stars from nearly 100 films including superstars Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Mickey Rooney, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Liza Minnelli, Peter Lawford, Donald O'Connor, James Stewart and many more.

'That's Entertainment, Part 2' (1976) continues the dazzling tradition of That's Entertainment! taking up where the other one left off, presenting fabulous sequences from movie musicals and highlighting such non-singing stars as Greta Garbo, Clark Gable and the Marx Brothers. Also featured are two of the champion song and dance men of all time, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly (together for the first time since Ziegfeld Follies of 1946), acting not only as narrators but also as performers, singing and dancing in all-new numbers directed by Kelly just for the film.

Finally, released in 1994 in celebration of MGM's 70th Anniversary, 'That's Entertainment! III' brings back to the screen the stars and musical numbers that have excited audiences for generations.
