Richard Green (Mullholland Drive) blends poetry, cabaret, and "living      animation" to tell the true story of the maverick actor/filmmaker's efforts to   get a swing-disco musical made in the late 1970's.

"The sheer force of imagination that produced its unique mix of     visual styles, musical numbers and hipster doggorol is extraordinary, and the    film is genuinely, against-all-odds engrossing" (Time Out NY).           Richard Green---USA---2003---90 mins.

Betty Hutton stars as Annie Oakley in this popular film version of Irving Berlin's Broadway musical smash about romance on the Wild West Show circuit. A charming, energetic movie, with such memorable tunes as "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Anything You Can Do," and "Doin' What Comes Naturally."  This high-spirited feature belies its many production woes, including Hutton replacing a troubled Judy Garland, Louis Calhern replacing Frank Morgan (who died suddenly after filming started), and two fired directors. Fans were denied this film for 27 years, as legal wranglings and business considerations kept it out of circulation on TV and theatres from 1973 to 2000, when it finally made its long-delayed video debut.                                     George Sidney---USA---1950---107 mins.

Hot on the heels of Volume One, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers tap their way     through five more beloved musicals--timeless screen treasures boasting lively    tunes, superlative choreography, and top-notch performances. Flying Down to   Rio (Thornton Freeland, 1933, 89 mins.) is a starring vehicle for Dolores   Del Rio, but it's remembered as the first screen pairing of Fred and Ginger.   The Gay Divorcee (Mark Sandrich, 1934, 107 mins.) is a song-and-dance    comedy about a case of mistaken identity. Roberta (William A. Seiter,      1935, 106 mins.) is an adaptation of a smash Broadway hit, in which Ginger     poses as a mysterious countess and Fred stars as a stranded band leader        looking to kick up his heels. Carefree (Mark Sandrich, 1938, 80 mins.),  with its screwball script and laugh-out-loud performances, is undoubtedly F  red and Ginger's most amusing film. The plot concerns marriage-phobic Ginger       falling for psychiatrist Fred. Finally, The Story of Vernon and Irene       Castle (H.C. Potter, 1939, 93 mins.) is the final Astaire and Rodgers RKO   film, about a pre-WWI dance team, their hardships, craft, chemistry, and         Mark Sandrich/William A. Seiter/H.C. Potter/Thornton Freeland---USA---1933-1939---475 mins.
