Ironically, I'm working my way through Warners Doris Day Spotlight Collection with 5 "new to DVD" films. In "Tea For Two" (one of the remakes of No No Nannette) she sings many of the Youmans Dietz songs from 1930 show. (And really tap dances as well as Debbie Reynolds in her early films. In the open scene - before the flashback to the story taking place in 1929, we are in 1949 and the 12 inch "lindy" record on the record player is plated using a drop down spindle. I think they weren't around yet. ;-)

 

Anyway there are only 3 musicals in the set and the Gene Kelly piece of fluff "Tunnel of Love" is one of the non musicals. Prints are nice but not enough to recommend the set.
