Talent at it's greatests
Only one word can describe this set "Brilliant". It is by far the best presented box set I have ever bought. For lovers of these two great artists this set is a must buy and the 5th DVD alone is worth the price.Here we have two stars who can best be described as the two greatest musical talents in cinema history. Even after almost 70 years the sheer brilliance,vitality and overwhelming artistry shine through as bright and as clear as ever.Mickey in his usual frantic form. Judy delivering,as always vocals both tender and dynamic and together thoroughly enjoying their work and each other.The Judy Garland Song Book section on the extras disc is just breathtaking and cleverly opens and closes with Born In A Trunk, a song which in so many ways sums up her life and career. As Mickey says in the interview on the extra disc, Judy doesn't just sing the songs, she acts them, in fact Mickeys interview shines with wonderful memories of those great MGM days and his quite obvious love for Judy.Todays so called super stars pale by comparison to these two great artists and all I can say in closing is, that if you buy nothing else this year, buy this set and then sit back and enjoy these two great talents. Their like will never be seen again.
