Didn't Know There Were So Many Movies I Didn't Know
2 of 2 found this helpful I bought this as a just-because-we-love-you gift for my mother-in-law, who loves classic musicals. DH & I are big old movie fans as well, so I was looking forward to see which of our favorites were included in this set.
I was disappointed when I read the list of titles: all were obscure. I didn't recognize even one of them. I did know all the performers; the casts included all the best and brightest singing and dancing actors of the 20th century.
I assume that the low cost of this collection was accomplished by using lesser known films, while keeping the quality by staying with the best talent.
Now, I was not around when these were made, so I am sure that many who are actually of that generation will recognize some of these films. My M-I-L assures me that she does, but then again, she is very polite.
Expect to see fine singing and dancing, but don't look for "Singing in the Rain"
