Found this great collection while looking for "Singin' in the Rain"...with
Gene Kelly. Forgot how truly wonderful "Gigi" was too! And of course
"My Fair Lady" is awesome! Without a doubt we were shocked to find three
separate discs and beautiful packaging....too! Great bargain....too!

This review is from: Essential Classics: Musicals (My Fair Lady / Singin' in the Rain / Gigi) (DVD)

These three time-honoured musical classics deserve a space in every DVD collection. With stars like Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and Audrey Hepburn, lush production values and memorable music, they'll be assured of giving your family hours and hours of solid movie entertainment.

MY FAIR LADY:
Rex Harrison "grows accustomed to the face" of Audrey Hepburn in the magical film version of the smash hit Broadway musical. Despite an ill-fitting singing voice provided by ghost dubber Marni Nixon, Hepburn glows as the Cockney guttersnipe who blooms under the guidance of a stuffy professor (Rex Harrison reprising his stage role).

Special features: audio commentary with film restoration experts James Katz and Robert Harris, art director Gene Allen and singer Marni Nixon; theatrical trailer.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN:
The beloved musical classic built around the Arthur Freed/Nacio Herb Brown songbook, detailing the various trials and trevails that ensued when the "Talkies" took over silent Hollywood. Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds romance, whilst Donald O'Connor performs his tour-de-force "Make 'Em Laugh".

Special features: audio commentary hosted by Debbie Reynolds, and theatrical trailer.

GIGI:
The last big hurrah of the MGM musical stars Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan in a lush adaptation of Colette's famed novella. Filmed on location in Paris by director Vincente Minnelli and featuring some of the most lavish costumes ever created by legendary Cecil Beaton, GIGI deservedly walked away with the 'Best Picture' Academy Award in 1959.

Special features: theatrical trailer.

Three separate discs with each of the musicals on a separate disc. The one we wanted and chose to view first was Singin in the Rain. It would not work. The other two showed beautifully. They were not HD but were viewable. We are really sorry about the Singin in the Rain disc. What are we to do????
