Gotta Dance, Gotta Sing (1984)

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This hour-long documentary is culled from the mid-1970s TV series That's Hollywood. As one can gather by the title, this is a collection of movie-musical highlights, most of them lifted from the output of 20th Century-Fox. Featured performers include Carmen Miranda (tutti-frutti hat and all), Betty Grable and Shirley Temple. RKO-Radio is also represented via choice clips from the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It's not quite the same as seeing the films in toto, but Gotta Dance, Gotta Sing is a satisfying sampler.
