If you like old movies or musicals then you will absolutely love this DVD Anyone who enjoys old films should be tickled pink to find these bits trimmed from the final cut of 1930-1940 films are still in existence. 20th Century Fox, as most studios, threw gold into the garbage. But these survived somehow. Shirley Temple - that little bundle of talent - does a number with the great Jimmy Durante. It was cut because the studio decided Shirley doing a Durante impersonation did not fit her image. There is a lot of good stuff on this disc, cut for time because it is easy to cut a musical number or, as in Shirleys case, it does not fit the stars image. I thoroughly enjoyed this chance to see these scenes. I have to mention the Bert Lahr number: you have to see it to believe it. There is far too little of Bert Lahr on film and this is a chance to see him as a young Broadway style performer even if you can't figure out just what it is he is doing. ExcellentRead full review
Because it has more treasures from the 20th Century Studios vault.

You often wonder why songs were edited from a film in the first place and why aren't the songs replaced and a new version released on DVD. Rose of Washington Square needed more songs in the film, especially "I'm Always Chasing Raimbows." I never knew there were outtakes from "The Gang's All Here" and in this case they were justified in editing the film. This DVD represent a good selection of good and bad song edited from films and as such it is great enjoyment
Another great compilation from Living Era. This is a wonderful recorded overview of the great vocal quartets that recorded during the acoustic-pre electrical era: The Haydn, the American, and the Peerless. Great vocalists, such as Billy Murray, Harry MacDonough, and Henry Burr, appeared with these harmonious foursomes.Major highlight: On The 5:15, sung by Billy Murray and the American Quartet: a witty look at the rush hour ordeal that we were still dealing with as early as 1916! Transfers sound great! Highly recommended! Philip G. Harwood
