Selection of Films
The series has thus far consisted of 20th Century Fox musicals made from the 1930s to about 1960. Not every Fox musical of this period, however, has been released onto DVD as part of this series. Indeed, many remain unreleased at all while a few others (Alexander's Ragtime Band, Orchestra Wives, and Stormy Weather) were released as part of Fox's other DVD collections.
The series also does not include the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals made at Fox in the 1950s and 1960s (The Sound of Music, The King and I, etc.), nor any of the Fox musicals starring Marilyn Monroe or Shirley Temple. These films are for the most part available on DVD, but not as part of the Marquee Musicals series.
