That's Entertainment! III
That's Entertainment! III is a 1994 American documentary film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to celebrate the studio's 70th anniversary. It was the third in a series of retrospectives that began with the first "That's Entertainment!" (1974) and "That's Entertainment, Part II" (1976). Although posters and home video packaging use the title without an exclamation mark, the actual on-screen title of the film uses it. In order to provide a "hook" for audiences who by 1994 had become accustomed to viewing classic movies on home video and cable TV (luxuries not  widely available when the first two "That's Entertainment!" films were released), not to mention the fact so many sequences had already been featured in the first two films, the producers decided to showcase footage cut from famous MGM musicals. Many of these numbers were shown for the first time in "That's Entertainment! III". Highlights include: Hosts for the third installment in the "That's Entertainment!" series were Gene Kelly (in his last film appearance), June Allyson, Cyd Charisse, Lena Horne, Howard Keel, Ann Miller, Debbie Reynolds, Mickey Rooney, and Esther Williams, making her first appearance in a theatrical  film in more than 30 years. "That's Entertainment! III" had a limited theatrical release in 1994. According to film historian "Robert Osborne", writing for "The Hollywood Reporter" at the time, the film did "pleasant business" at New York's "Ziegfeld Theatre". All three films were released to DVD in 2004. The box set collection of the films included a bonus DVD that included additional musical numbers that had been cut from MGM films as well as the first release of the complete performance of "Mr. Monotony" by Judy Garland (the version used in "That's Entertainment! III" is truncated ). The home video version of "That's Entertainment! III" also contains several musical numbers not seen in the theatrical release. The film was later remastered for high-definition release on Blu-ray and HD DVD.
