Nine years after his last compilation of musical-movie highlights (That's Entertainment, Part II), producer Jack Haley Jr. offers another enjoyable nostalgia-fest, That's Dancing. Unlike his earlier films, which were confined to the output of MGM, That's Dancing offers vignettes from the best of Warner Bros. (the Busby Berkeley extravaganzas, On Your Toes), RKO (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers), 20th Century-Fox (The Nicholas Brothers, Carmen Miranda), Universal (1969's Sweet Charity) and United

The rare dance documentary that features more clips of Bob Fosse in front of the camera rather than behind, That's Dancing!'s only crippling flaw is that it was made when Kim Carnes was around to rasp through the closing credits.
Bends over backwards to celebrate the perception that the box office success of Fame and Flashdance heralded the rebirth of the form.
A fine film about the beat that put bodies in motion from tap to ballroom to disco to break dancing.
It's enjoyable viewing of well-accomplished and famous dances/dancers, however those expecting to catch the full scenes of the VERY best 20th Century dance numbers in film will be disappointed. Gene Kelly splashin' & singin' in the rain? Nope. Donald O'Connor dancin' up 'n down walls to make 'em laugh? Sorry. Fred
