That was an excellent one.

good back-story, and good acting

Admirable film.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Let's set the record straight. Simply appearing in two or three Broadway shows does not qualify any performer from suddenly acquiring the status of being a "Legend". When you're talking about "Broadway Legends", you're talking about Ethel Merman, Al Jolson, George M. Cohan, Cole Porter, Roger and Hammerstein, etc.,etc.. When this DVD's Producer, Rick McKay, makes claims that this DVD is based upon his recorded comments of ONE HUNDRED Broadway LEGENDS WHO WERE THERE, he's talking about performers like Fay Wray, Betsy Blair, Carol Burnett, Karl Malden, Farley Granger, Jane Powell, and many, many otherperformers whom he self proclaimed as Broadway "Legends". As a great admirer of the tremendous talents associated with true Broadway "Legends", I strongly resent this. I also believe it misleads the consumer.Regrettably, the DVD offers very little in the way of enter taining the viewer...that is, unless you enjoy watching over an hour and a half of wall-to-wall interviews. The only thing I garnered from my viewing was that, if, in those golden days of Broadway, you wanted to learn what show was hiring, or who was sleeping with whom, you simply had to linger around the soda fountain of either Grey's or Walgreens drug store.For a much more entertaining and educational DVD on the golden days of Broadway, I highly suggest "COLE PORTER-YOU"RE THE TOP", and/or "RICHARD RODGERS: THE SWEETEST SOUNDS".

Unlike so many quickly forgotten documentaries this sterling entry is a memorable experience, both educational and fun for anyone with whatever degree of interest/curiosity in the history of Broadway musicals and its Golden Age talent. Since so many of these celebrities are at the age where they soon might not be with us, it is a godsend to have their thoughts on their craft captured for posterity.This is the type of film where one viewing is not sufficient to capture all the flavor and nuances of the star-studded personalities captured in interview by the filmmaker.A very worthwhile experience!!!

I saw this movie last year and loved it. It was before it had distribution and i have watched happily as it went on its way to national theatrical runs and greatreviews. I had heard that the filmmaker had changed it since then, but Iassumed it was minor. I am in Chicago for a gig and when I read the greatreviews in the Chicago papers today I ran to see it again - almost a year later. Amazingly, the filmmaker Rick McKay was at the theatre again! In a wholedifferent part of the country, as he lives in NYC and I saw the film AND him in LA. He must be the moist passionate filmmaker ever to have made this film with 100 stars and taken six years. But, most important, the film is much, much different. it is absolutely brilliant. Moving and touching. There were people laughing and sobbing at the sametime around me. It is such a lost era and it seems even more profound a yearlater. Not to mention that at least five of the stars have died in this last year, making it more precious. The audience gave McKay a standing ovation and he regaled him with stories. I know I have friends who are going to kill me. They were so jealous when I saw an advance screening a year ago and it has been opening up in ciites all over the country but a lot of people still can't find it. SO , the good news is that McKay announced that the film comes out on DVD on November 9th. "Loaded withextras," he said. I am counting days.Nobody wanted to leave the theater. Everyone waited after in the lobby forMcKay and he told stories after to us. It was like we were trying to hang on to the last of this era and time in the film. I read a review on Ain't It Cool News that said this movie is a national treasure. They are right. And so is McKay. It would have all been gone were it not for this film. Thank you.

Saw this film recently in a festival and thought, "Thank God for festivals, for where else would I ever see this film?!" But, the filmmaker did an interview with the audience afterwards and said that a distribution company has taken the film and it is going to open in theaters around the country this summer. What great news!This is a movie every young person should see who likes movies, tv or theater. It is so inspiring and it truly captures the brilliance of great actors, singers, writers and composers. I always thought the world would continue to create great creative geniuses who came to places like New York and made history, but it doesn't seem to be any more. Much like the people in this film, "I thought it would go on forever."But, this movie makes me feel optimistic again because any time you see something this powerful (and this is a powerful movie) I begin to believe again in the hope of great art, whether on stage or film or tv or maybe the next era is digital video. Who knows? But, run don't walk to see this movie if it opens anywhere near you!
