Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Decades before the Hollywood film industry became famous for megabudget disaster and science fiction spectaculars, the studios of Southern California (and particularly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) were renowned for a uniquely American (and nearly extinct) kind of picture known as The Musical. Indeed, when the prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound conducts its international critics poll in the second year of every decade, this 1952 MGM picture is the American musical that consistently ranks among the 10 best movies ever made. It's not only a great song-and-dance piece starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and a sprightly Debbie Reynolds; it's also an affectionately funny insider spoof about the film industry's uneasy transition from silent pictures to 'talkies.' Kelly plays debonair star Don Lockwood, whose leading lady Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) has a screechy voice hilariously ill-suited to the new technology (and her glamorous screen image). Among the musical highlights: O'Connor's knockout 'Make 'Em Laugh'; the big 'Broadway Melody' production number; and, best of all, that charming little title ditty in which Kelly makes movie magic on a drenched set with nothing but a few puddles, a lamppost, and an umbrella. --Jim Emerson

- A timeless film, fun and entertaining for everyone
We first watched this movie as a family about 5 years ago, and Donald O'Connor cracked my son up while Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds entranced my daughter. Now, 5 years later, we purchased the movie for the holidays, and everyone loved it just as much again. We had to repeat "Make 'Em Laugh" a couple of times, and the music and dancing dazzled everyone throughout. The story is fun, too. A classic movie with a vibrancy and joy that transmits cleanly through time to all ages. What great fun!

The movie is enjoyable and has no
violence or profanity.

- Wonderful
I was hesitant to go for the two disk set, but it's really worth it if you love musicals, and love MGM movies. The second disk is a great addition, packed with loads of info about Arthur Freed, with commentary by Debbie Reynolds, and it even includes the original film clips of the songs in the movie. This is a great choice for a fan.

- My 5-year-old daughter LOVES this movie!
We received it from NetFlix, she watched it 3x in a row! Bought it for a Christmas present. Gene Kelly is fabulous, and Donald O'Connor's athleticism and stamina in "Make 'Em Laugh" is amazing. Great song and dance numbers for any age.
