"MGM Presents—a huge set they built that would be used to film dozens of movies, any MGM musical that took place in a theater. If it proves anything at all, it proves that they could amortize their huge investment while entertaining us. The video is an exploration of an almost-forgotten past that still lingers on in a cinephiliac present. Or perhaps a Marxist essay on how studios saved money, even in their most elaborate productions." Mark Rappaport
