Work Description

Best, Worst. & Most Unusual: Hollywood Musicals is a comprehensive look at the most riveting films in a genre glutted with mediocre efforts. It not only sings the praises of the best, but steps off centerstage for a fun look at some of the weirdest (a Monkees musical?) and worst (remember roller-disco?) attempts ever committed to film.
