Rating: 5.0
Fantastic DVD collection
This is a must for Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney Fans. This couple are very talented in singing, acting and dancing. My favorite are BABES IN ARMS and BABES ON BROADWAY.This Box contains a booklet, several photo/behind-the-scenes cards, and each movie beginns with a forword of still living actor Mickey Rooney. also on the Disc are any nice making of documentaries.We will never get again a voice and such talent like Judy Garland who may be most famous for her part in "The Wizard of Oz".The Picture quality and sound are very good and the movies are much more entertaining than today new-so-called "musicals" like "Step Up" (in my mind).TRIVIA: Co-Star Douglas McPhail in "Babes in Arms" has a wonderful voice and he appeared again together with Judy Garland in "Little Nellie Kelly". Did you know?: he appeared in 3 Eleanor Powell musicals: as masked singer in the "Beginn the Begine" Number in "Broadway Melody of 1940". His first "collaborating" with Powell was in the Entrance the Lucy James Scenes in "Born to Dance" and had also a uncredited part as singer/chorus in "Honolulu".Another interesting part he had in Jeanette MacDonalds/Eddy Nelsons "Sweethearts".Sadley he made suicide in 1944 after his divorcing of his wife Betty Jaynes and when his career turned down.
