Description

Show #1 HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS OF THE 40s In the 1940's. America was just emerging from The Great Depression. War engulfed half the world and the future looked uncertain. The Hollywood musical had the recipe to make things better. Because of this original American art form, people still believed that dreams really can come true. Glamour spread across the screen. Whether in glorious color or black and white, the screen always glittered. Join Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Jeanette MacDonald, Fred Astaire, Alice Faye, Gene Kelly, Betty Grable, John Payne, Ann Miller, George Murphy, Margaret O'Brien, Bing Crosby, Doris day, Danny Kaye, Carmen Miranda, Frank Sinatra, Martha Raye, Jimmy Durante, Lena Horne, Tony Martin, and a host of others as we celebrate the great Musicals of the 1940's, when Hollywood put its best dancing feet forward. From nostalgia to contemporary jazz, the Hollywood Musical had it all. Show #2: Hollywood Victory Caravan Hollywood Victory Caravan is typical of the War Bond promotions of the second World War. Musical comedy stars Bing Crosby, Betty Hutton, Carmen Cavallero, Bob Hope, and Olga San Juan strut their stuff in this musical short. Barbara Syanwyck, Alan Ladd, Humphrey Bogart, and Robert Benchley make cameo appearances. Rare behind-the-scenes views of the Paramount studio highlight this gem from the 1940's. This is a real treat for fans of the Musical!
