ABOUT
THE DISC & RECORDINGS:
For
its 50th anniversary celebration in 1974, MGM did something no
other studio had done before. The studio released to theaters
a compilation of it's greatest musical moments entitled That's
Entertainment!.
That's Entertainment! was the
brainchild of producer Jack Haley, Jr.
(son of Wizard of Oz Tin Man
Jack Haley). Haley, Jr. originally conceived
the idea to produce a compilation film
as a television special. But after seeing
the great job Haley had done so far with
the compilation, the studio decided would
be best shown on the big screen, just
as the featured musicals had originally
been intended to be seen. Haley then
got Gene Kelly involved and Gene in turn
convinced other stars to join him in
narrating the film.
The film surprised everyone and became one of the top money makers of the year.
Critics and audiences alike were delighted to see the great MGM musicals once
again (or for the first time) on the big screen. But the film did more that just
entertain. It almost single-handedly brought about the market for nostalgia.
In the few years previous to 1974, colleges and art house theaters had been screening
retrospectives of various director's or star's works, such as Busby Berkeley
or Humphrey Bogart. But That's Entertainment! brought the the Golden
Age of Hollywood to the masses. Suddenly people People everywhere saw that these
weren't just "old films on TV" but actual works of art. A golden era
in film history that will never be seen again.
The film was also instrumental in bringing Judy's work at MGM to the forefront.
After she passed away 5 years earlier in 1969, the immediate memory that most
people had of Judy was of her troubled final few years. That's Entertainment! once
again gave audiences the chance to experience Judy's special on screen magic.
For many, it was the first time they had seen many of her film performances outside
of The Wizard of Oz. The following year (1975), several biographies
about Judy were release, including Gerold Frank's masterful biography simply
titled "Judy". From the success of That's Entertainment! and
the sequel, That's Entertainment!, Part 2, Judy gained scores of new
fans and was finally Judy was being remembered and respected for her incredible
talent and amazing career.
After the huge success of That's Entertainment!, is only stands to reason
that MGM would produce a sequel. Released in 1976, That's Entertainment!,
Part 2 brought more great musical sequences back to the big screen while
also bringing the focus to clips from some of MGM's most famous dramatic and
comedy films. Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly were the hosts this time around, dancing
together for the first time since 1946's Ziegfeld Follies. That's
Entertainment!, Part 2 wasn't as big a success as the first installment,
but us fans didn't mind. We all got to see more of our favorites on the big screen
again!
Eighteen years later, in 1994, we finally got the third installment. And boy,
was it worth the wait! In the intervening years, film restoration had become
a priority for studios, historians, and fans alike. So now, with That's Entertainment!
III we got more great films clips all restored to their technicolor glory
with many of the soundtracks re-mixed into true stereo. As an added bonus, musical
outtakes were featured for the first time. And what great outtakes they were.
Especially Judy's cut numbers. The legendary Garland Annie
Get Your Gun (1950) footage is seen for the first time (outside of bad
quality bootleg videos), "March Of The Doagies" from The
Harvey Girls (1946)
is also seen for the first time. But the one sequence that received the most
press and applause from everyone was Judy's flawless rendition of Irving Berlin's"Mr.
Monotony" that was cut from Easter
Parade (1948). In the same costume that she later wore for "Get
Happy" in Summer Stock (1950),
once again Judy stole the show!
A special edition laser disc and videotape boxed set of That's Entertainment!
III came out in 1995 that contained even more outtake musical numbers as
well as an extended "Director's Cut" version of the film. All three
films were then released on video and laser in a special boxed set entitled "That's
Entertainment! - The Ultimate Musical Treasury" (see image at left).
Both
of
these
boxed sets contained hours of alternate audio tracks featuring rare recording
sessions from many great stars and films.
The trio of That's Entertainment! films are unsurpassed as stellar examples
of "docutainment" and are, quite simply, a lot of fun to watch.
All three films are now on DVD. Click
here for DVD info. Click here for
the DVD press release.
This special Rhino CD boxed set contains the complete soundtrack versions for
most of clips featured in all three films, plus a bonus disc featuring performances
and rarities from even MORE classic MGM Musicals. The ultimate audio anthology
of MGM Musicals ever produced! A must have!
Discography Note: Rhino
is releasing a newly updated version of this set on April 25, 2006.
