That's Entertainment! III
''That's Entertainment! III'' is a 1994 American documentary film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to celebrate the studio's 70th anniversary. It was the third in a series of retrospectives that began with the first '' That's Entertainment!'' (1974) and '' That's Entertainment, Part II'' (1976). Although posters and home video packaging use the title without an exclamation mark, the actual on-screen title of the film uses it. In order to provide a "hook" for audiences who by 1994 had become accustomed to viewing classic movies on home video and cable TV (luxuries not widely available when the first two ''That's Entertainment!'' films were released), not to mention the fact so many sequences had already been featured in the first two films, the producers decided to showcase footage cut from famous MGM musicals. Many of these numbers were shown for the first time in ''That's Entertainment! III''. Highlights include: * An alternate version of Eleanor Powell's extended tap dance routin ...

Exclamation Mark
The exclamation mark, , or exclamation point (American English), is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or to show emphasis. The exclamation mark often marks the end of a sentence, for example: "Watch out!". Similarly, a bare exclamation mark (with nothing before or after) is often used in warning signs. The exclamation mark is often used in writing to make a character seem as though they are shouting and/or excited/surprised. Other uses include: * In mathematics, it denotes the factorial operation. * Several computer languages use at the beginning of an expression to denote logical negation. For example, means "the logical negation of A", also called "not A". This usage has spread to ordinary language (e.g., "!clue" means no-clue or clueless). * Some languages use to denote a click consonant. History Graphically, the exclamation mark is represented by variations on the theme of a full stop point with a verti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

I'm An Indian Too
"I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical '' Annie Get Your Gun'', by Irving Berlin. It was originally performed by Ethel Merman. It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe. It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans, and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping. Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As a result of this reaction, many contemporary productions have omitted the song from their revivals, and the protests stopped. In 1979, the song was remixed and released as a dance track by disco artist Don Armando. Other singers to have recorded the song include Doris Day (for the 1963 album '' Annie Get Your Gun''), Judy Garland and Betty Hutton Betty Hutton (born Elizabeth June Th ...
