They'll holler "Bravo."

If the song

comes from the heart

Heart

That's just a sample of what's been going

on around here for the past 40 years.

The work was hard, but it was great fun.

Because the people you worked with

really knew what they were doing.

And it was said that through those doors...

passed the most famous stars

in Hollywood.

And I don't think many in this town

will argue about it.

Here's one of the most lovely

and talented of those stars...

Miss Elizabeth Taylor.

I was 10 years old

when I first came to MGM.

And I spent most of the next 18 years

of my life...

behind the walls of that studio.

As a young girl growing up

in that strange place...

it's hard to recall

what was real and what wasn't.

Perhaps, my most vivid memories

were of MGM musicals.

Just to stand there on the set and watch...

the singing and the dancing.

It was like fantasy come true.

Total innocence. Loveliness.

I love a melody

of spring

Lilac in bloom

Birds on the wing

I made my musical debut

when I was 15 years old...

in a film called Cynthia.

I was certainly no threat

to Jane Powell or Judy Garland...

as you will see.

For life is an eager

joyous thing

Whenever I hear

the music

of spring

Maybe that experience helped give me...

the enormous regard

that I have for musical talent.

And believe me, at MGM, I saw the best.

Every honeybee sighs with jealousy

For instance, if Lena Horne

was in a movie...

then it almost had to be from MGM.

Honeysuckle rose

When we're passin'by

Flowers droop and sigh

And I know the reason why

You're much sweeter, goodness knows

Honeysuckle rose

I don't buy sugar

You just have to touch my cup

You're my sugar

It's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin' sips

From your tasty lips

Seems the honey fairly drips

You're confection

Goodness knows

You're my honeysuckle rose

You're my honeysuckle rose

- 'Cause it's one

- Two

Three strikes, you're out

at the old ball game

When Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly

teamed up for a series of films...

the results were irresistible.

This is one of their best. ;

Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

Thou swell, thou witty

Thou sweet, thou grand

Wouldst kiss me pretty?

Wouldst hold my hand?

Both thine eyes are cute, too

What they do to me

Hear me holler,

I choose a sweet lollapalooza in thee

June Allyson, MGM's most popular

musical sweetheart...

in Rodgers and Hart's Words and Music.

Two rooms and kitchen

I'm sure would do

Give me just a plot of

Not a lot of land

And thou swell

Thou witty, thou grand

Everybody's favorite college musical...

Good News starring June Allyson

and Peter Lawford.

Those sure were the good old days.
