Representing some of the most requested titles in WHV's

'That's Entertainment, Part 2' (1976) continues the

where the other one left off, presenting fabulous sequences
from movie musicals and highlighting such non-singing stars

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
