Hollywood Singing and Dancing

A two-disc movie, "Hollywood Singing and Dancing: A Musical History," will be released in October. The 220-minute program, produced by Great Musical Treasures, explores the progression of song and dance in film, from Busby Berkeley’s Depression-era black-and-white films to recent hits such as Dreamgirls and Chicago. Academy Award-winning performer Shirley Jones hosts the program, which features interviews with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Liza Minnelli, Shirley MacLaine, Mickey Rooney, Rita Moreno, Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Caron, Jane Russell, Tab Hunter, Joel Grey and directors Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) and Rob Marshall (Chicago).
