Before the movies learned to talk, they learned to sing, and within a few short years of the early talkie revolution, the Hollywood studios cranked out elaborate musicals for a music-mad public. From Busby Berkeley extravaganzas and elegant Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers tuners to the lavish MGM treasures of Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, there has been nothing to surpass the great era of Hollywood musicals from the 1930s through 1950s. Join film historian Max Alvarez for this dazzling behind-the-scenes look at the historic movie musicals and their creators.
