The fourth compilation (counting That's Dancing) of clips from MGM musicals. The pickings, including outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage, are naturally slimmer. But as the Golden Age of the screen musical grows ever dimmer and more remote, even the slimmest pickings become more precious. Some nuggets: Gene Kelly dancing with a newspaper in Summer Stock; Kelly, Donald O'Connor, two checked suits, and two fiddles in Singin' in the Rain; Dolores Gray's brush-off of a battalion of suitors in It's Always Fair Weather; Mickey Rooney's Carmen Miranda imitation in Babes on Broadway; plus a number of illuminating uses of the split-screen for purposes of comparison. (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
