Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Some of the most impressive numbers from the golden era of MGM musicals are contained in this video, the third of the That's Entertainment films. Have no fear that the studio was scraping the bottom of the barrel when assembling these clips after having produced two earlier films using the same formula. In fact, it can be argued that this particular compilation would be attractive to a general audience of today, as it contains a wealth of material that hasn't been widely seen. And almost none of it would be produced today, as these complicated dance scenes would simply be too expensive to film in the modern era. An example is a lavish production number featuring the great dancer Eleanor Powell seen in split screen, so the viewer watching the video can see not only what the movie audience saw, but what the soundstage looked like as a small army of stagehands performed artful illusions by removing gigantic portions of the stage as Powell danced across it. Interesting outtakes featuring Judy Garland and Lena Horne are also featured, and former MGM musical stars who introduce the production numbers (and provide background on the filming) include Gene Kelly and Esther Williams. The title doesn't lie: it's all entertaining. --Robert J. McNamara

Rating: - great film with fun bits of trivia and [previously] unseen film footage......
THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT 3 is the final installment of the ENTERTAINMENT trilogy, that features older versions of the stars we came to love and recognize presenting a series of clips from their best-known movies, as well as outtakes with alternative choreoography, costumes and [sometimes] performers. Some of my favorites from here include Cyd Charisse, in TORCH SONG, which was brought to film with Joan Crawford in a costume gawdy enough to make her look like a drag queen, and make-up reminiscent of ...

Rating:  - A Look Back At MGM That's Both Honest And Nostalgic
It was some time between the release of THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT PART 2 and the third installation. The third installation could have been more of the same, but in the third part we are taken behind the scenes a bit more than the first. There are more narrators and in this regard it makes it similar to the first installment. It includes some well known scenes and lesser known scenes, but it's a bit more critical in an honest way and less a celebration of MGM's glory days. For example we see a musical ... Read More
Rating: - The third outing...
is on par with the two first... What a pity neither of these films have included segments from BELLS ARE RINGING 1960, Mr. Freed`s last musical for Metro.
As for the film itself, the editing isn`t as good as one would expect... We didn`t get a fourth(or a 5th, they made a 4th for cable in 1995)chapter in 2004(MGM released De-Lovely instead) and it`s a shame, because MGM STILL have a lot of magic moments in store for us.... Watching the channel TCM; you`ll be aware of that. These three ... Read More
Rating: - As good as the first, THAT'S ENT III is cinematic heaven!
For two hours of non-stop MGM musical joy, you can't beat THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT! III, the third and final entry in the magnificent series of compilations that celebrate the greatest tune-fests in film history.
I'm so excited that all three films are coming to DVD, especially from Warner Home Video, who really know how to "do it right"!
Like the original THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!, the format here is a stellar group of MGM veteran stars hosting various sequences built around classic ... Read More
Rating: - A little something for everyone
Hey -- don't look at me that way! They were showing it on TV, and how could I resist? Like the previous installments in this series, this scrapbook documentary patches together some of the most dazzling and outlandish dance numbers from the golden age of MGM musicals, using hackneyed narrations by old-time studio stars such as Gene Kelly, Lena Horne and Esther Williams. The numbers whiz by like lightning, deftly navigating the shoals of countless half-forgotten tossoffs and classic A-list films. Naturally, ... Read More
