Pretty, uh, entertaining! It's a convenient way to see the best bits from the MGM Musicals all in one little package.

The movies it honours were great; this film is cheesy propaganda.

An all-white-meat anthology of movie musical numbers. How can you resist? Why would you try to do so?

The idea of experiencing a slew of highlights sounds good in theory, but doesn't entirely work in practice. Of course it's fun when you're enjoying the numbers, but it also makes you wish you were watching the original films instead. There's a cringe-worthy Twiggy-era comment about "slightly overweight chorus girls" and Liz Taylor looks stoned out of her gourd. But it's an enjoyable overview and there's a candid willingness to discuss their failures. It gave me a good list of films to check out.

When a mass of people who've seen MGM grow to the big-named company it is, of course you're gonna get as many people as you can to show you how it's grown as an industry, from Mickey Rooney to Liza Minelli to Fred Astaire

A nice, um, entertaining breeze through MGM musical history, which came out at a time when actually seeing the original movies was not so easy to do. A very clever studio marketing ploy that yielded a nice return on their investment.
