The Band Wagon

The Band Wagon (1953) more movies like this

directed by Vincente Minnelli
featuring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, Jack Buchanan

One of the most subtle and sophisticated of the musical comedies that came out of MGM's Arthur Freed Unit in the '40s and '50s, The Band Wagon stars Fred Astaire as Tony Hunter, a movie star whose career is in a downturn. Looking for a boost, Tony decides to try starring in a Broadway musical. His friends Lester and Lily Marton (Oscar Levant and ...

Brigadoon

Brigadoon (1954) more movies like this

directed by Vincente Minnelli
featuring Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, Cyd Charisse, Elaine Stewart, Barry Jones

Reportedly, Vincente Minnelli turned down the opportunity to film Brigadoon on location in Scotland insisting that MGM's studio mockups looked more Scottish than the genuine article. This lavish adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe Broadway musical stars Gene Kelly as an American tourist who stumbles upon an enchanted Scottish village. Every 100 ...

directed by Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen
featuring Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Cyd Charisse, Dolores Gray, Michael Kidd

Cooked up by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, It's Always Fair Weather could well have been titled On the Town Ten Years Later .

Till the Clouds Roll By (1946) more movies like this

directed by Richard Whorf
featuring June Allyson, Robert Walker, Judy Garland, Gower Champion, Lucille Bremer, Cyd Charisse, Joan Wells, Bruce Cowling, Van Heflin

MGM's Till the Clouds Roll By is the musicalized, and highly fictionalized, life story of beloved composer Jerome Kern, who gave his blessing to the production shortly before his death in 1946. As played by a gray-templed Robert Walker, Kern is a likeable but none too exciting sort who expresses his emotions through his music. Constructed in the ...

On an Island with You

On an Island with You (1948) more movies like this

directed by Richard Thorpe
featuring Esther Williams, Peter Lawford, Ricardo Montalban, Jimmy Durante, Cyd Charisse

The title of this MGM musical alone should tip you to the fact that Esther Williams is the star. In this one, she plays a movie star (what an innovation!), Rosalind Reynolds, who is on location in Hawaii to shoot a picture. Peter Lawford plays the film's naval technical advisor, Lt. Lawrence Y. Kingslee, who naturally falls deeply in love with ...

In 1974, MGM Studios released its first compilation of musical highlights from 45 years of Hollywood extravaganzas. Entitled That's Entertainment!, it was a big box-office hit and inspired a second compilation two years later. Eighteen years went by before MGM tried again. The third installment of the series contains a total of 62 musical numbers ...

Director Mervyn Leroy lends a burnished MGM gloss to this sordid tale of infidelity among rich New York East Siders.

The Silencers (1966) more movies like this

directed by Phil Karlson
featuring Dean Martin, Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi, Victor Buono, Arthur O'Connell, Cyd Charisse

Columbia Pictures tried to create a tongue-in-cheek American James Bond with this, the first of five motion pictures based on the character of Matt Helm, a spy created in a series of novels by Donald Hamilton. Dean Martin stars as Helm, a boozing, womanizing cad of a spy coaxed out of retirement by ex-girlfriend Tina Batori (Daliah Lavi). His ...
