That's Entertainment (1953)

Written by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz for the 1953 MGM film musical The Band Wagon, That's Entertainment became a unofficial anthem for the golden era of the film musical. 20 years later it became the title of a compilation of highlights of the MGM musical.

The original Broadway show of The Band Wagon (opened June 3rd, 1931) had no real resemblance to the 1953 film though both starred Fred Astaire.
