This review is from: TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Broadway Musicals (Show Boat / Annie Get Your Gun / Kiss Me Kate / Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) (DVD)

Build your collection of classic movies quickly and save lots of shelf space at the same time! These TCM/Warners classic movie packs are to be applauded for giving us some of the best movies ever made for one small price!

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS: Jane Powell and Howard Keel star in this lusty musical favourite with a particularly sweeping Johnny Mercer/Gene DePaul score. Special Features: audio commentary with director Stanley Donen, and a Donen musicals trailer gallery.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN: Musical dynamo Betty Hutton fires on all cylinders with her performance as sharp-shootin' Annie Oakley in the celebrated screen version of the Broadway musical, co-starring Howard Keel. Special Features: all-new introduction by Susan Lucci, deleted musical number "Let's Go West Again", three songs with original star Judy Garland ("Doin' What Comes Natur'lly", "I'm An Indian, Too" and "Colonel Buffalo Bill"), audio session tracks.

SHOW BOAT: The most beloved and popular screen version of the Broadway musical, starring Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel as lovers Magnolia and Ravenal, torn apart and reunited on the Cotton Blossom. Ava Gardner aquits herself nicely in a rare musical role, although her singing was dubbed by Annette Warren. Special Features: trailer.

KISS ME, KATE: Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel are again paired in this solid movie version of the Cole Porter musical, about a divorced pair of actors forced to work together again in a stage production of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew". Special Features: all-new featurette "Cole Porter in Hollywood: Too Darn Hot" hosted by Ann Miller, vintage short "Mighty Manhattan, New York's Wonder City", trailer, behind-the-scenes notes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Product - Poor Packaging, August 23, 2011

The reason I rated this product three stars is because of the packaging. The movies are great and the price can't be beat. My only complaint is that all 4 discs were on the same latch - one on top of the other. I have bought sets such as this, from other manufacturers and usually each disc is on a separate place. The way these are packaged could cause discs to be scratched. They are good copies why skimp on the packaging and possibly cause damage?? I will be hesitant to buy any other TCM compilation such as this for that reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howard Keel Musicals set, May 28, 2009

These are four delightful movies and they look great on DVD. "Kiss Me Kate" has a great extra with scenes using the 3-D effect. It is moderately priced which is a plus. They are also contained in a standard size DVD case. It has only two discs with a movie on each side Well worth adding to your collection.
