8/10
Not a 'greatest hits' compilation but still worth-watching
15 August 2023
The film is a collection of clips of some of Hollywood's great dancing sequences (mostly from MGM musicals but other studios are represented) and features generally interesting commentaries from some of the stars. The dance footage is great but, as many of most memorable numbers had already been show-cased in the 'That's Entertainment' series, viewers may be disappointed by what is not shown (i.a. 'Singing in the Rain', 'Dancing Cheek to Cheek'). The lengthy opening montage contains a lot of interesting quick clips that disappointingly are not expanded on later in the film (was that Sally Rand and did she have nothing on under those fans?). As always, I was captivated by the gorgeous Cyd Charisse and have boosted my rating one point accordingly.
