Review of That's Dancing! (1985) by Scott A — 15 Jun 2013
Movie was okay, but it's really just a clips film showing select performances from all the great musicals.
I did really like the first section that showed how dance films were more large scale than they would become, almost more impressive. Then they evolved into less dancers, but you could actually be more impressed by the one or two people shown in their full glory.
The film hits the mid section with a cut scene from the Wizard Of Oz that was fun to see, but then goes onto a ballet section that was really boring.
The final piece of the new, at the time, stuff is really too brief in my opinion. But it does end showing a basic preview of what would come at the rise of the music video with Michael Jackson's Beat It. Great video!
If anything, it was like a long preview for all the great musical films I shall be seeing at some point here on my journey to see every film ever made.
