Correct list of film titles (Caution!) I ordered this item based on the review dated March 2008 and found it was a different product. The March 08 reviewer was NOT reviewing this item but something else entirely! and I already had all the films. Thanks Amazon! Here is what was on the ten pack I received - St Clair Vision COL91179-3VD: Three Broadway Girls, Doll Face, Moonlight Sonata, Second Chorus, Mr Imperium, Manhattan Merry-go-Round, Royal Wedding, Happy Go Lovely, Glorifying the American Girl, The Stork Club. If you don't have them all already it is a good pack to buy.
I heard America singing (and dancing) ST CLAIR's THE GOLDEN AGE OF MUSICALS 10 Movie Pack presents many films not in wide circulation, along with a few more common titles. Featured stars include James Cagney, Gale Storm, The Three Stooges and Eartha Kitt, with musical appearances by Nat King Cole, Art Tatum, Louis Jordan, Spike Jones, The Mills Bros. and many others.
ST. CLAIR DVD multi-packs are reasonably priced, and offer fine quality video/audio transfers of unrestored public domain material. Discs are single-side recorded, plastic storage cases fairly sturdy and movie liner notes appear on box's back cover.
HIGHLIGHTS:
BREAKFAST IN HOLLYWOOD-- A fine cast is featured in this film about a radio show. Watch for Gary Cooper's mom in an uncredited minor role.
THE FABULOUS DORSEYS-- Beside the famous brothers, other band leaders appearing here are Paul Whiteman (known as "The King of Jazz"), Charlie Barnet ("Cherokee") and Henry Busse, whose "Hot Lips" was a million-seller in the '30s.
NEW FACES-- A real gem! With material from Mel Brooks, and comedic turns from Alice Ghostley, Robert Clary and Paul Lynde, plus some great music!
RHYTHM PARADE-- Featured is Groucho Marx's favorite straight "man," Maggie Dumont. This also has a cameo by newcomer Yvonne De Carlo. Story by the screenwriter of "High Noon," Carl Foreman.
MCE's Musicals 20 Movie Pack would be a fine addition to this collection. It contains 17 films not on "The Golden Age of Musicals."
