MGMMusicalsFan Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 A very nice list has been already posted. To this I would add, Interrupted Melody (1955), which I thought was fantastic! A great performance was given by Eleanor Parker, but the singing was done by Eileen Farrell. I also thought that Glenn Ford was excellent in this. Link to post Share on other sites

lawrenceliberty Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Good question! I'd say: Diamond Horseshoe, Song of the Islands, Footlight Serenade, Summer Holiday, Look for the Silver Lining, Daughter of Rosie O'Grady, and almost any of June Haver's movies. Link to post Share on other sites
lawrenceliberty Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Oh, and two more- Little Nellie Kelly and Tin Pan Alley! Link to post Share on other sites
cclowell38 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Any of Deanna Durbin's movies that haven't already been released. Any of Kathryn Grayson's movies that haven't been released Any of Alice Faye's movies that haven't been released. ONE NIGHT OF LOVE (1934) I'd also like to see more of Jane Powell's movies on DVD. I don't really like her characters in her early films, but I enjoy her singing. I'm also a fan of INTERRUPTED MELODY, and would like to see that one get a DVD release. It would be nice to see some of Gloria Jean's movies on DVD other than IF I HAD MY WAY, which was released as part of a Bing Crosby Collection. HIGH, WIDE AND HANDSOME SHOW BOAT (1936) INCENDIARY BLONDE HAPPY GO LUCKY SING YOU SINNERS THE STAR MAKER Link to post Share on other sites
MGMMusicalsFan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I like your selections too. When I saw "One Night of Love", it reminded me of another movie that Grace Moore made - entitled "When You're In Love". Her leading man was Cary Grant. It was such a good film. So I would add that one as well. Link to post Share on other sites
molo14 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 A lot of good titles have already been mentioned. I would add *Springtime in the Rockies.* I love those 40's Fox musicals. I heard in another thread it might be on the Betty Grable volume 2 collection which is rumored to be in the works. Link to post Share on other sites

decotodd Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think "Yolanda" is scheduled for release soon. I read that somewhere. McDonald/Eddy films apparently need a lot of restoration, but imagine they'll pop up eventually in a set. I'd like to see some of the early Technicolor musicals (Follow Thru, Viennese Nights, Vagabond King) Second some of the Jane Powell films (Girl Most LIkely, Holiday in Mexico, Date with Judy) Love "Thousands Cheer" and suprised it hasn't made it to disc yet.

edgeciff Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Haven't heard anything about YOLANDA AND THE THIEF coming soon on DVD nor other Astaire films THE SKY'S THE LIMIT and DAMSEL IN DISTRESS. Hope these three might see a release by 2009. DATE WITH JUDY has recently been released on DVD Other musicals I would like to see on DVD include: GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS I LOVE MELVIN CENTENNIAL SUMMER Link to post Share on other sites

metsfan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Is "Skirts Ahoy" included in the Ester Williams set? I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Shame I couldn't record the film. Link to post Share on other sites

Lina Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm patiently waiting for Volume 2 of the Esther Williams Collection. I think there's a few more Doris Day movies that haven't made it into her previous 2 collections that I would like to have on dvd. Link to post Share on other sites
SteveBeasley Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ANY of Kay Kyser's 7 feature films. None have been released on DVD. Matter of fact, this 'Big Bands in July' thing currently playing has shown only one -'That's Right, You're Wrong'. Wake up, TCM!!! Link to post Share on other sites
