The Mike Douglas Show: That's Entertainment Part II (1976) - Star of the month... Gene Kelly

'The Mike Douglas Show' is an American talk show running from 1961-1982, hosted by Mike Douglas.

This episode broadcast on 20 February 1976, was a special promotion for the upcoming 'That's Entertainment, Part II' (1976).

In this episode, Mike talks to Saul Chaplin, Dan Melnick, Hermes Pan, as well as MGM stars Fred Astaire, Nanette Fabray, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller, Janis Paige, Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds on SoundStage 27.

Worth watching to see the MGM greats in their older age. The highlight guest for me was Ann Miller, who I absolutely adore.
