Auntie Mame -- The legendary Rosalind Russell ('Gypsy,' 'His Girl Friday') recreates on screen her Broadway triumph as an eccentric grande dame who teaches her 10-year old nephew to appreciate life.

The Band Wagon -- Oscar-winner and legendary hoofer Fred Astaire ('Top Hat') stars in this fun-filled Oscar-nominated musical as a Hollywood celebrity who stumbles into trouble when he agrees to star in a Broadway show.

Academy Award-winner Gene Kelly ("Singin' in the Rain," "An American in Paris"), Oscar-nominee Dan Dailey ("The Pride of St. Louis"), and 5-time Tony-winner dancer/choreographer Michael Kidd ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Hello Dolly!") star as three WWII comrades who meet again during a ten-year reunion only to discover they have nothing in common. Co-starring the exquisite Cyd Charisse ("Singin' in the Rain"). A musical delight directed by Kelly and Stanley Donen ("Singin' in the Rain," Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"), it received Oscar-nominations for Best Screenplay and Score.

The last Astaire/Rogers movie, about a show-biz team divided by career ambitions, is also the duo's only color film. Highlights: Fred's Shoes with Wings on and the pair's They Can't Take That Away from Me.
