M-G-M's Greatest Musicals (originally published as The World of
Entertainment! Hollywood's Greatest Musicals) is not a biography of
Arthur Freed (1894-1973), producer of the most outstanding series
of musicals in motion picture history, but a turbulent,
behind-the-scenes, film-by-film account of the making of his movies
(which, to the exclusion of all else, were his life). From 1940 to
1970, under the auspices of M-G-M's celebrated Freed Unit,
Hollywood's master actors, writers, directors, choreographers,
composers, and set designers created The Wizard of Oz, Babes in
Arms, Girl Crazy, Meet Me in St. Louis, Annie Get Your Gun, An
American in Paris, Show Boat, Singin' in the Rain, Brigadoon,
Kismet, Gigi, and nearly forty others. The author reproduces
interoffice memos, production notes, art-department blueprints, and
tales of studio politics, to bring to vivid life the unexpected
crises and everyday magic of the Freed Unit. Richly detailed,
profusely illustrated with hundreds of rare photos, this book
describes the lives and careers Freed touched and often shaped -
Judy Garland, Vincente Minnelli, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, and
others like Saroyan, Berlin, Kern, Gershwin - and in the process
reveals how a romantic, sentimental man became the uncontested
master of the movie musical.
