Don't bother - Hollywood Musicals of the 50's review by DW
I had expected something more than a sequence of trailers with poor quality of both picture and sound, some of the latter not even synchronised. A real disappointment as I had really looked forward to being reminded of a number of musicals I had very much enjoyed when very young.
