Review

The best films from every studio, every decade and the most important and influential stars are included. You’ll ride the roller-coaster of the genre’s dazzling heyday of success. The journey begins with the dawn of sound on film, to the patriotic feel-good musicals of World War II, through the development of the “integrated” musical in which songs became an important story-telling ingredient, through the near-death of the medium when the studio system collapsed, to the genre’s recent resurgence and multi-generational embrace.

Fresh, new interviews with stars like Liza Minnelli, Shirley MacLaine, Mickey Rooney, Rita Moreno, Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Caron, and Joel Grey among many, many others give an insider’s insight into the world that helped shape these filmed masterpieces.
