PLOT
"From the musical library [of MGM], about 100 films were selected from the 1929-58 era, enough to satisfy nearly every memory. Each segment has a particular theme (usually film highlights of a particular star); and each has its own narrator."
- Variety
NOTES
"Although most of the linking commentary. . .was embarrassingly self-congratulatory and banal, and one might cavil at some of the films and stars included (or omitted), That's Entertainment fully lived up to its title, making the spectator feel like a child let loose in a toy factory."
- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical
"Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer celebrated its 50th anniversary with That's Entertainment!, an outstanding, stunning, sentimental, exciting, colorful, enjoyable, spirit-lifting, tuneful, youthful, invigorating, zesty, respectful, dazzling, and richly satisfying feature documentary commemorating its filmusicals."
- Variety
That's Entertainment! was the 10th highest-grossing film of 1974. See Box Office Hits
