Words and Music ★★½ 1948
Plot based on the careers of Rodgers and Hart is little more than a peg on which to hang lots of classic songs, sung by a parade of MGM stars. Also includes Kelly's dance recreation of “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue.” Good advice: if no one's singing or dancing, fast forward. 122m/C VHS . Mickey Rooney, Tom Drake, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Lena Horne, Mel Torme, Cyd Charisse, Marshall Thompson, Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett, June Allyson, Perry Como, Vera-Ellen, Ann Sothern; D: Norman Taurog; M: Richard Rodgers.
