'S Wonderful Collection
rating: 5
Singin' in the Rain is the excellent 2002 transfer. Bonus materials include a fine full-length documentary on MGM's Freed Unit; this is a must-see for all musical fans. For my money though the keepers here are the extensive clips of original film appearances of all these great songs. All pale in comparison to the SITR versions (though Andy Rooney and Judy Garland do an energetic version of Good Mornin') but offer a nice overview of film-musical history. Even by standards of early talkies the first film version of Singin in the Rain features astoundingly bad dancing!
Kelly biodoc Anatomy of a Dancer includes an extremely rare clip of his career-making B'way role as Pal Joey and an extensive clip from the technically astounding Alter Ego routine in Cover Girl. Thoughtful quotes from Kelly biographer Clive Hirschhorn and Kelly's first wife, Betsy Blair, round out the solid portrait that will satisfy any Kelly-phile.
