| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Perfect musical confection |
| Much has been written about the troubles on this production; how Judy's illnesses forced delay after delay...so long that even the supporting dancers would move onto other projects. None of this shows on screen. Garland's vocals are strong, and the songs she sings are memorable. Her Portland Fancy dance duet with Gene Kelly makes you wish they had more opportunities to work together; it has to be one of the top dance duets filmed at MGM. She more than keeps up with him, and it is Judy that your eye is drawn to as you watch the two of them. Her solo song, "Friendly Star" is heartbreaking, especially the tearful closeup at the end. Sure, the plot is predictable, and a little hokey at times, but with a strong supporting cast and a witty script, this delightful movie could be enjoyed over and over again. The "Get Happy" number is a fantastic showstopper that is among the most memorable and sadly, her last filmed number at MGM. | |
