Les Girls, eh? I don't know much about that one, although the title 
is familiar. I'll have to look into it. I've got a loooong list of 
dvd's I'd like to get, but I've budgeted for only one a month, so 
it'll take a while to build up my collection. Glad to meet another 
Kelly fan. More than anything I am fascinated by his skill as a 
coreographer, especially in scenes where he portrays a character 
through dance. How on earth does he do it? Why are those particular 
motions appropriate to conveying a particular trait or emotion--and 
yet it absolutely works but I can't put my finer on how. My favorite 
scene right now is the "duet" with Cyd Charisse in the Broadway 
ballet of "Singin' in the Rain" 

BTW, Steve--thankyou for those links. They were very informative, and 
it seems that if my TV is less than 10 years old (which it is) it 
should be able to handle the NTCS format. I decided in the end the 
only way for me to know for sure would be to just go ahead and 
order...
