Description:

EASTER PARADE Strolling along 5th Avenue or bumming around as A Couple of Swells, Judy Garland and Fred Astaire lead a parade of music (17 Irving Berlin tunes and an Academy Award-winning adaptation score) and gotta-dance fun in this neverending delight co-starring Ann Miller and Peter Lawford. MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS She's in love with the boy next door. And movie fans are forever in love with her Judy Garland in a nostalgia and humor-filled tale of life with the Smith family in 1903 St. Louis. Songs include The Boy Next Door, The Trolley Song and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. SINGIN IN THE RAIN Considered by many to be the greatest movie musical ever! Silent movies are giving way to the advent of sound and a Hollywood matinee idol (Gene Kelly) is caught in that bumpy transition, as well as his buddy (Donald O'Connor), prospective sweetheart (Debbie Reynolds) and vocally-challenged co-star (Jean Hagen). THE BAND WAGON Fred Astaire dazzles in a train station (By Myself), a penny arcade (A Shine on Your Shoes), a back-lot Central Park (Dancing in the Dark) and a smoky café (Girl Hunt), the latter two with incomparable Cyd Charisse. Nanette Fabray, Jack Buchanan and Oscar Levant co-star, and as the movies hallmark song goes, That's Entertainment!

4great old classic musicals  Aug 24, 2010
Though I'm not much of a musicals fan, I loved each of these classics even though the plot lines are not terribly exciting, or nearly non-existent in the case of Meet Me in St. Louis. As 3 of the 4 movies are about performers, the music was not just people breaking into song in awkward places. The 4th, St. Louis, the music also seemed natural in the family setting. I found myself enjoying the characters.
They are wholesome films, and in my opinion, entertaining, and relaxing.
If you're looking for excitement or adventure in your movie or a complex plot, these may not be for you.

The only drawback for me was packaging, the 2 - 2 sided disks. I fear scratching the top side, thus one of the movies, as I deal with the disk.

This is an outstanding collection of Hollywood musicals at an outstanding price. TCM is to be applauded for releasing multiple films with one purchase. We own these musicals on VHS but jumped at the chance to purchase these.

54 Classics for the Price of 1!!!  May 18, 2010
Purchased this for my Grandfather, who recently upgraded from a VCR to a newfangled DVD player. His favorite movie of all time is 'Singin' in the Rain', and with this purchase, you get 4 for the price of 1!!!! He says he can watch 'Singin in the Rain' over and over again and he never gets sick of it-- this is the first time he's ever had the opportunity to watch the commentary & behind the scenes extras, and he LOVES it. The other movies ('The Band Wagon', 'Meet me in St. Louis' & 'Easter Parade') are also excellent. TCM did a great job of pairing these films together. Its also nice that the 3 generations can all sit down and enjoy these films together. When I was a kid in the 80's, I saw part of 'Meet Me in St. Louis' on television, and wanted to watch the rest of it. We couldn't find it ANYWHERE. TCM is putting out lots of these 'classic collections' on DVDs, which will make it easy to build a whole library for my grandparents, parents and my children (one day...) to enjoy!!!

I am a fan of old musicals and am really enjoying these. I go in my sewing room and get lost in my movies and craft. Very impressed with the quality and the selections put together.
