This third installment of the hugely successful "That's Entertainment" trilogy sets its sights on musical numbers from MGM's vast library of classics that never made it to the big screen, either because of their controversial subject matter or due to creative differences. Includes Debbie Reynolds’ solo performance cut from "Singin’ in the Rain," Fred Astaire’s flawless rehearsal footage, and a Lena Horne bubble-bath scene deemed too risqué. Features rare behind-the-scenes footage to show how MGM created the screen's greatest musicals. Hosted by legendary stars: Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Lena Horne, Howard Keel, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse, Mickey Rooney, Esther Williams and June Allyson. Film critic Roger Ebert gives it 3.5 stars and declares it "...a genuinely fascinating film."

Sid & Judy tells the story of Judy Garland’s phoenix-like rise from the ashes to the absolute heights of fame driven by her great and turbulent love affair with Sid Luft, her third husband, who managed her through triumphant highs and crushing lows, during the course of their 13-year marriage. It is the story of how The Star became The Legend. Based in-part on Sid Luft’s recently published memoir and a wealth of never-before-seen (or heard) personal archive, the film puts the viewer inside Sid and Judy’s intimate world. It is a privileged view inside the lives of one of our greatest icons of the stage and screen, full of all of her passion and wit, her madness and her magnificence -- and lots and lots of her songs. It is a new look at Judy for a new generation, and a celebration of Judy for those who still remember, cherish, and love her.
