VHS Movie Reviews of Babes on Broadway [VHS]
Movie Review: mickey rooney and judy garland collection
Summary: 4 Stars
never realized just how talented these two stars were.just a great trip down memory lane.Movie Review: I'm so happy to own this boxset!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that I had never been "that" familiar with the work that Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney had done as actors but, I must say that I was totally missing something great and incredible to enjoy with their work. I have never been a "musical" movies fan but still, there's something about these movies that is interesting enough to make me watch them. Beyond acting (that was merely a important part of these movies) the performances and talent of these people were just great. Mickey Rooney had this energy and enthusiasm while he was making a scene (any scene) that you just get contagious by them. On the other hand, Judy Garland voice was so sweet and charming that you just want her to keep on doing her acts. Besides that, she was such a beautiful, young little girl in these movies. The musical parts of any movie you'll watch here have a variety of features that you might find amazing. When it's not about Garland/Rooney duets because of their talent (I personally recommend Rooneys number with the banjo on "Babes on broadway"... STUNNING!!!)... it's about the dancing numbers and the choreographies they made back then (and I couldn't imagine how difficult was for them to repeat a whole scene if one of the actors might screw it up... that was passion and love from an actor). And whe it wasn't about some pretty songs you might enjoy... it was the delight of the dresses and clothes they wore for each act.
I do agree with the comment someone else posted here when they reffered to these movies as nor being "academy awards drama" but still, just to watch the performances and the effort from all the actors to put up a show more than the movies themselves like these ones, it's just great. Now, I'm putting aside the other features of this set like the extra DVD, the book aobut the movies' notes and the pictures which I find extremely AWESOME. A bunch of little jewels to enjoy and to place them in a personal museum at home.

Summary: 5 Stars
The Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland Collection (Babes in Arms / Babes on Broadway / Girl Crazy / Strike Up the Band)
Wonderful, wonderful..but did anyone notice that several of the songs on the Judy Garland song selection dvd are slightly out of synch? This is really apparent in Everybody Sing and is distracting. Except for this...bravo. Warner Bros. is the best. Thank you George F.
Movie Review: Top Quality Package
Summary: 5 Stars
The glory that was Judy Garland falls in two camps. I have always been a devoted fan of the latter one which I felt began in the early sixties ('I Could Go On Singing' and 'The Judy Garland Show')and extended until the time of her passing. How ironic that "A Star is Born" took on a deeper meaning for me as it was a pivotal film where she was figuratively born into lasting greatness as a chanteuse who has been considered by notables as the best in the business. This being said, a nagging curiosity regarding a reflection of her early films, especially those with Mickey Rooney, deliciously iced with the songs of the great Broadway composers, never left me. Although I have been witness to many of her biographical documentaries, I knew I had best see her early films in order to better understand their influence as to how her talents were polished as the young performer grew into the star whose light does not seem to diminish with the passage of time.
The quality of the DVDs are excellent as are the selection of Mickey and Judy films. I also enjoyed a small booklet of very attractive photographs which were an added attraction in the box set. Each movie offered its own selection of special features among which I found the dialogue of Mickey Rooney's career most enlightening.
Do I recommend this box set? Yes, if you have the same curiosity as to the history of Judy Garland as these films do reflect well the times in which she lived even though they are regarded as fairy tale stories.
