Quick review: That’s Entertainment II

Today I’ll just do a quick review/promo of That’s Entertainment II. MGM put together three great retrospectives of their musical greats from the early and mid twentieth century. Number II in unique in that it featured co-hosts Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. The two actually do some dance numbers together.  While not as energetic as in their great days, the numbers are crisp, clean, and perfect, as any Astaire performance would be. Just seeing this one-time mating of these two greats would be worth it, but the way they weaved the theme song from its original movie into this one, is icing on top of the already rich numbers brought from the video archives.
