A series of movie milestones from Hollywood - the home of the film spectacular - tonight starring Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Cyd Charisse with Dolores Gray, Michael Kidd

Tonight's film - one of the last of MGM's great dance musicals - was choreographed by Michael Kidd, dance director of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. He also joins Gene Kelly and Dan Dailey in front of the cameras to play one of the three soldiers who meet for a reunion 10 years after the war is over. Many of the numbers are startlingly different - including one with the three stars dancing on dustbin lids!
