Back when TNT aired this series in the early 90’s, it was one of the best documentary series that was produced. However, almost immediately after its broadcast, Robin Astaire (Fred’s wife) forbade the usage of any of his clips on ANY documentary, suggesting that his image in such capacity will ruin his integrity- or a facsimile there of. So, when issued on Laserdisc in the 90’s, all the Astaire sequences were either cut or replaced- i.e., the clip from Ziegfeld Follies, the Babbit and the Bromide number with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly was replaced with Judy Garland’s The Great Lady Has An interview. The version released on the DVD, unfortunately, is still that one. While TCM aired the series right before the DVD release, it was indeed the original version with Fred Astaire intact- you can either keep both, or just keep the TCM recording, since it would be more complete… such a pity for a great documentary.

I am thrilled to learn MGM: When the Lion Roars is finally available on DVD! I’ve been patiently waiting to add it to my collection for years. This documentary originally aired on TNT in the early 90’s when I was a teenager, and it is undoubtedly the reason I am an avid fan of classic cinema today. It is one of the single best documentaries I have seen about the studio system and the origins of the entertainment industry as a whole. Not only does it provide a glimpse into the by-gone era of Hollywood’s Golden Age, but it reveals the stories behind some of the greatest films ever made. Bottom line: it is a must-see for fans of classic films.
