1944, 108 minutes, Rated G
"Meet Me In St. Louis," sings Judy Garland, and that's an invitation movie fans heartily accept. In a role that was one of her favorites, the 22-year-old star headlines this warm turn-of-the-century delight.
The enduring popularity of this terrific blend of nostalgia and bring humor proves that quality storytelling and filmmaking (Vincente Minnelli) never go out of style. The sets are eye-pleasing marvels of design, the camera glides effortlessly within them and Garland has perhaps never been more winning as she pines for The Boy Next Door, comforts seven-year-old Margaret O'Brien (awarded a special Oscar as 1944's outstanding child actress) with Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and whisks along to the clang-clang of The Trolley Song. Clang-clang, ding-ding, zing-zing; don't miss it!
