Let’s Put On A Show Right Here………..
After a relatively quiet few months, Warners in the US have given us film fans a bumper treat! They have been in the works for some time, but now all four of the M-G-M musicals that Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney made together are available on DVD in a lavish and spectacular box set.
Containing “Babes In Arms”, “Babes On Broadway”, “Strike Up the Band” and “Girl Crazy”, along with a bonus DVD containing a Judy Garland Jukebox (21 complete song sequences from some of her other M-G-M musicals); a Mickey & Judy Trailer Gallery; “Private Screenings” with Rooney; and with added shorts, introductions and other extras, this set just has to be THE contender for “Best DVD set of 2007″!
Packaging is deluxe, with a hardback book containing the bonus DVD, a portfolio of 20 behind the scenes photos and the film discs themselves, contained in an overlapping digipack. (The only slight cavil - slimcases would have been so much better…)
