From <i>The Jazz Singer </i>in 1927 all the way to <i>La La Land </i>in modern times, musicals have sung and danced over a vast amount of territory, thrilling audiences the entire time. More than any other type of entertainment, musicals transport us to marvelous places: a Technicolor land over the rainbow in <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>; a romantic ballroom where, in <i>Top Hat</i>, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance cheek to cheek; a London theater where the Beatles perform before hysterical crowds in <i>A Hard Day's Night</i>; even to a seemingly alternate reality where eager throngs still throw rice as they watch <i>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</i>. These titles, and many more, show us that a great musical film is a timeless joy. <p/> Covering fifty of the best spanning the dawn of sound to the high-def present, <i>Turner Classic Movies: Must-See Musicals</i> -- written by renowned musical historian Richard Barrios-is filled with lush illustrations as well as enlightening commentary and entertaining backstage stories about every one of these unforgettable films.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This is a delight for anyone who loves musicals.--<i><b>-Manhattan Book Review</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard Barrios</b> is the author of the award-winning <i>A Song in the Dark: The Birth of the Musical Film, Screened Out: Playing Gay in Hollywood from Edison to Stonewall</i>, and <i>Turner Classic Movies: Must-See Musicals</i>.
