Donald O'Connor

This vivid, high-energy human tableau interweaves the lives and passions of a middle class, small town family against the scandals and events of a transitional America in 1906. Director Milos Forman and producer Dino De Laurentiis have assembled an all-star cast - including legendary James Cagney - that brings the best-selling E.L. Doctorow novel to life in unforgettable fashion, with memorable music by composer/conductor Randy Newman. Ragtime is both a compelling story of human emotions and a reflection of the innocence, excitement and drama of that important time in America's history.

This delightful Irving Berlin musical - featuring Marilyn Monroe, a stellar cast and an array of dazzling, upbeat production numbers - is a showstopper on Blu-ray. Co-starring with Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor and Mitzi Gaynor, Marilyn plays an ambitious and beautiful showgirl named Vicky, who catches the eye of Tim, a son in the veteran vaudeville family act known as the Five Donahues. But when Vicky steals Tim's heart, his loyalties to his talented clan will be tested and the show business life will prove to be more surprising and entertaining than anyone thought possible.
