Movie Reviews of That's Dancing!
Movie Review: This One is Fascinating if You're a Fan of Dancing
Summary: 5 Stars
My interesting in dancing has always been as a spectator, not a dancer; we did however give our daughter dancing lessons from early childhood and she loved it. She loved it so much that she married a professional ballet dancer and now they own a successful dance school where they both teach.
As a fan of classical music since childhood I can recall the rapture I felt when I saw my first ballet; the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo was presenting the second act of Swan Lake. I was transported to a world of ethereal beauty that made a lasting impression on me. Since then I have been mostly a fan of classical ballet whereas my wife appreciates not only ballet, but also other more contemporary forms of dance.
I mention the above to help explain our enthusiasm for this DVD. It covers the world of dancing from ballet to break dancing and features a multitude of really remarkable dancing sequences from the stage and screen.
As a home theater enthusiast it pleases me that the sound has been remastered to Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and really immerses the listener in great sound.
The overall effect is an uplifting joyous experience in dance; it leaves you feeling better about things than when you started.
We also bought a copy for our daughter and her husband and as dance professionals, they have found it to be a delight as well.
If you enjoy watching dancing or have a family member who does, this DVD is a treasure and sure to please anyone who appreciates dancing.
I'm very glad we added it to our collection.
Movie Review: Great Stuff From The Classic Masters
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's an outstanding collection of some of the great dance numbers from the early 1930s to the mid 1980s.
From the early years, I've always found it fun to marvel at the talent of Ruby Keeler, Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire, Bill Robinson, Shirley Temple, Gene Kelly, etc. Here they all are on one disc! What a great tribute to these great entertainers and perhaps it can turn people on to watching some of these great musicals of the past.
I'm also always awed at those great sets on the Busby Berkley extravaganzas. They were incredible.
The more you like tap dancing, which I do, the better this will look to you, but there are other forms of dance featured in here, too. I'm so glad this finally came out on DVD in mid-2007, as I had almost worn my tape out.
Movie Review: The best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what took me so long in buying this film. If you really like dancing your going to love this movie. I love "That's Entertainment" series but this film is just about the dancing. It doesn't get better than this and it's to bad we don't have the talent in Hollywood anymore. Unfortunately the Broadway dancing is going by the way-side too and i worked on Broadway all my life. It's sad that we don't have really talented dancers anymore. I use to work at RCMH for years and even the Rockettes are not that great anymore. Actually there are no real Rockettes left. The standards have dropped terrible. So enjoy this wonderful film of DANCE. It's the end of an era.Movie Review: Great Overview
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has loved watching all kinds of dancing over many years, this held my interest as pure entertainment as well as giving me some insight behind some dance productions. The historical perspective held my interest and I loved hearing from many well-known stars. I particularly loved the section with Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of my personal favorites! I wished it didn't have to end.Movie Review: Entertaining and very enlightening about American music history
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great show! After viewing, I bought a copy of That's Dancing for my parents because I am certain they'll enjoy it, too. Also, it helped me learn more about history because I'd heard of many of the performers, but only when they were older. I didn't realize so many were "child" stars. FUN SHOW!
