5.0 out of 5 stars A Golden Age of Cinema, August 26, 2010

This review is from: Michel Legrand & Friends: The 50th Anniversary Concert, 50 Years of Music & Movies (DVD)

Remember when going to the movies was still an exciting, romantic thrill? The smell of the popcorn, the roar of the air conditioning, the bottom lit red velvet curtains, and so on? For me Michel Legrand's film scores and movies represent the last of that priceless atmosphere. Yes, I do like my flat screen and Blu-rays. But the older days of going to the big movie houses, where I saw Thomas Crown Affair, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Yentl with my date, preserve a priceless nostalgia. Legrand is a classic example of the suave, polished, creative Frenchman; the essence of sophistication and glamor. Much enjoyed the stars who came out to this gala to pay their respects! Just lay back and reminisce.

5.0 out of 5 stars A creative genius, August 26, 2010

I love Michel Legrand, and I loved this show. Michel Legrand is an unsung genius if there ever was one; despite his many Oscars and Grammys he's not exactly a household word. But if you are a film and music lover you probably appreciate his many talents; and it was great to see the panoply of (mostly older) stars who came out to pay tribute to him. Beautiful songs by a recently-out-of-hospital Andy Williams, and super performances especially by George Benson and Steve Lawrence.

This review is from: Michel Legrand & Friends: The 50th Anniversary Concert, 50 Years of Music & Movies (DVD)

Michel Legrand is a wonderful composer,pianist & arranger-but this DVD is terrible.Singers on it-especially Sinatra Jr.,Patti Page & Andy Williams sound horrible. George Benson seems like he forgot the lyrics to Watch What Happens. Why was Jerry Lewis involved with this? The 2 hosts acted like this was the first time they ever did a show. All in all--a poor experience. Buy a Legrand CD--and listen to his music!!
