What a swell party

Swell party

Swellegant, elegant party this is

While I give to you

And you give to me

True love

True love

So on and on

lt'll always be

True love

True love

For you and I

Have a guardian angel

on high

With nothing to do

But to give to you

And to give to me

Love forever

true

Love forever

true

I'm recalling times when I was falling

Like a free jubilee day

Get this cast. ;

Russ Tamblyn, Vic Damone, Tony Martin...

Kay Armen, Debbie Reynolds,

Jane Powell, Ann Miller...

and the Pacific Fleet...

in Hit the Deck.

Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And you'll shoo the blues away

When cares pursue ya

Hallelujah

Gets you thru the darkest day

Satan lies a-waitin'

- And creatin' skies of gray

- Skies of gray

But hallelujah, hallelujah

Helps to shoo the clouds away

Satan lies a-waitin'

- And creatin' skies of gray

- Skies of gray

But hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Helps to shoo the clouds away

Sing hallelu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lujah!

The next time anyone says

that dancing is for sissies...

remind them of

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Produced by Jack Cummings,

directed by Stanley Donen...

and choreographed by Michael Kidd...

it's perhaps the most vivid

and exuberant ballet ever put on film.

Gigi

Am I a fool without a mind

Or have I merely been too blind to realize

Oh, Gigi

Why you've been growing up

before my eyes

Gigi

You're not at all

that funny awkward little girl

I knew

Oh no

Overnight there's been

a breathless change

in you

One of the finest musicals ever made. ;

Alan Jay Lerner

and Frederick Loewe's Gigi.

It was that rare blend of story and song...

and it starred Leslie Caron,

Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold...

and the marvelous Maurice Chevalier.

All under the inspired direction

of Vincente Minnelli.

- May I come in?

- Yes.

Gaston, please.

No newspapers, no scandal.

Madame, will you do me the honor...

the favor...

give me the infinite joy

of bestowing on me...

Gigi's hand in marriage.

Thank heaven.

For little girls

For little girls get bigger every day!

Thank heaven for little girls

They grow up in the most delightful way!

Those little eyes so helpless and appealing

One day will flash and send you crashin'

through the ceilin'

Thank heaven for little girls

Thank heaven for them all

No matter where, no matter who

Without them, what would little boys do?

- Thank heaven

- Thank heaven

- Thank heaven

- Thank heaven

Thank heaven

for little girls

Through the years, MGM has produced

over 200 musical films.

And if you had to select

one number from one film...

that would best represent

the MGM musicals...

I have a feeling

that the vote would be unanimous...

especially among the people

who worked here...

and that's why we've saved the best

for the last.

An American in Paris

starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.

It won an Oscar as

Best Picture of the year...

over 20 years ago.

But the ballet for that film...

is as timeless as the day

you and I first saw it.

Produced by Arthur Freed,

directed by Vincente Minnelli...

and choreographed by Gene Kelly...

it can only be described

as MGM's masterpiece.
