![]() Meet Me In St. Louis (Two-Disc Special Edition) $26.98 I got it for Halloween because there is a really neat scene where Margaret O'Brien goes out to play tricks on neighbors. She was about 6 at the time. A really great little actress. ![]() The Harvey Girls $19.98 Most know Judy Garland as a singing sensation, but her comedic abilities are put on display to great effect in this film. The opening sequence where she sings on the train "as the evening sun goes down" is breathtaking. Granted the male lead isn't too great, the rest of the cast does well. My favorite line will always be: "They call me Tex" -"where are you from?" "Massachusetts" ![]() The Garland Touch $13.98 Yes, this is a compliation album, but this is, nonetheless, a superb collection of songs from the incomparable Judy Garland. From the bright "Lucky Day" to "San Franciso", Garland is in great voice on every song. Several numbers were recorded in London during her recuperation from a major illness and were later captured on her live album "Judy at Carnegie Hall" and remained unreleased for a number of years, but that doesn't mean they aren't still worth hearing. Just listen to her recording of "Why Was I Born?", which has been released on other albums, of course. It is still the best recording of this song ever made. There isn't one number that is disappointment by any means. "You'll Never Walk Alone" - beautiful. "Comes Onces In A Lifetime" - upbeat and fun all the way. "It's Lovely To Be Back In London" - weak lyrics and all it is still a prime recording from Garland from her show at London's Dominion Theater in 1957...rarely heard. "More Than You Know"...another example of prime Judy Garland. No other singer has the range and ability to sing the variety of songs Garland sang and to do so as well as she did. She rarely got the full credit she deserved for the full catalogue of songs she covered in career. This album is your chance to experience some of the best of the Garland recordings at the peak of her vocal period, too! You won't regret buying this album. ![]() Summer Stock $19.98 May not be the best of their films. But what a joy to watch. Judy steals every minute from Mr. Kelly. Even when they are dancing. Love the dance they do in the barn. Fun and makes you feel good movie. Garland looks great in the film, even when she is heavier. In fact, she looks so much healthier in those scenes. Great movie!! |
