That's Carry On! (1977)

Twenty Years of Laughing.

[10/10 · 21 October 1998]

That's Carry On is an enjoyable nostalgic peek at twenty years of Carry On comedy. Co-hosted by Barbara Windsor and Kenneth Williams there is a chance to see them use their old bawdy jokes again between clips, sadly Williams' style of humour is very politically incorrect and stale - at some point the jokes about Williams personal parts are embarrassing even demeaning.

Try to ignore the co-hosts at work though, and concentrate on the real humour during the great clips, which includes everybody's favourite stars and scenes. Great fun and bawdiness throughout, only for the true carry-on fan.

That's Entertainment, Part II (1976)

Unbeatable Musical Entertainment

[10/10 · 20 October 1998]

This film was another excuse to look through those old MGM film vaults and get out some old film reels, to enjoy once more. This excuse cetainly pays off with over 2*hrs of stunning musical/dance performances. It is even more enjoyable than the first, as Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly even entertain us with numerous dance numbers during the films intervals - the last time they were to dance together on screen. The clips are indelible as they are precious, which includes rare footage of Greta Garbo dancing!, Robert Taylor singing!, and Esther Williams Skiing!.

Overall it is action packed enjoyment throughout, simply bursting through the screen. Fans of musicals and any of the old stars, will relish with the opportunity to see the talented MGM stars in action once more. Lots of MGM glitz and Glamour thrown in too!!!

That's Entertainment! (1974)

Great MGM Entertainment.

[20 October 1998]

A nostalgic look back at the highlights of some of MGM's greatest musical moments over 50 years, with lots of singing and dancing. This film is highly entertaining and enjoyable, certainly something for a boring rainy day. The old stars would have you singing in minutes, they are certainly the best.

Disaster

[9/10 · 17 October 1998]

Processed trash, only for the few who like to see a bunch of old Hollywood stars thrown together for commerical profit. Is gripping in parts and the special effects are great, but the stars are as bored as the viewers.
