A kaleidoscopic compilation of great scenes from the history of the movie musical. Beginning with Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer in 1927, the impressive parade of stars include Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand and many others. And the film clips range from the great chorus numbers choreographed by Busby Berkeley through the MGM favourites to such contemporary musicals as Hair, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Pennies from Heaven. A veritable feast for the eye and ear! Narrated by John Harlan
