• Holiday Inn | DVD | (01/12/2003) from £5.35   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Holiday Inn is the perennial Christmas-season favourite from 1942 that teams Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire as entertainers (and rival suitors of Marjorie Reynolds) running an inn that is only open on holidays. It's a great excuse for lots of singing and dancing, seamlessly wrapped in a catchy story, and Astaire's frequent director Mark Sandrich (Top Hat, Shall We Dance) doesn't let us down. The Irving Berlin numbers (each one connected to a different holiday) are winners, with Crosby's warm performance of "White Christmas" a movie touchstone. --Tom Keogh

• Royal Wedding | DVD | (05/03/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling in this 1951 Alan Jay Lerner musical for MGM, directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain). The appealing story finds Astaire as part of a brother-and-sister act (along with Jane Powell) that travels to London at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's wedding. Astaire and Powell each find romances that threaten to break up the act, but that's mostly fun window dressing in a movie better known for some truly creative sequences made vivid by Donen, including Astaire's famous dance with a hat rack and his duet with Powell, "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You (When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life)?" --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Maceo Parker - My Name Is Maceo | DVD | (21/08/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £16.99

  This is a rare kind of music film. A portrait of a musician who made his name first as a sideman than as a star. The classic recordings of James Brown are frequently punctuated with a cry of Maceo which listeners often assumed to be some funky catchphrase of Brown's own invention. In fact it was the cue for his long serving sax man Maceo Parker to step forward and blow his horn. When Brown was incarcerated in the late '80's necessity led Maceo to become a bandleader in his own right enlisting other funk pioneers such as trombonist Fred Wesley and tenor saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis. In 1994 Maceo and his band were filmed in concert in rehearsal and on the road. Though essentially a performance film My First Name is Maceo captures both on and off stage the warm generous personality that flows through Maceo's music. Interviews with Maceo his brother Melvin and the musicians who have worked with him fill in the background that began on a North Carolina Housing Project.
