Hollywood Singing & Dancing: A Musical History

PG

Starring
Barry Bostwick, Mickey Rooney, Liza Minnelli

Director
Mark McLaughlin

Year
2008

Genre
Documentary

Synopsis
A homage to the wonderful musicals of the silver screen from the genius of Busby Berkley to The Rocky Horror Picture Show - the longest running film ever - and Chicago.

Narrated by Shirley Jones, there are anecdotes from Mickey Rooney, on working with Judy Garland as children at MGM; Liza Minnelli talks about her mother, Garland, and father, Vincent Minnelli; Pat Boone on how he starred in State Fair with Ann Margret instead of Elvis plus a myriad of other musical stars with their personal feelings on how the Hollywood musical became the staple entertainment when life becomes too hard to handle.

Of course, there are also hundreds of sequences which have become part of our popular culture. So, sit back, relax and come dance and sing with the best.
