JUDY GARLAND "GET HAPPY" (SUMMER STOCK, 1950)

JUDY GARLAND "GET HAPPY"

Though it's called Summer Stock, this marvelous "let's put on a show" musical - the final one that showcased the peerless pair of Judy Garland and Gene Kelly - is a delight for all seasons. The story is simple: a homespun farm family allows a Broadway production company to rehearse its new show on their property - if the performers "pay" their way by pitching in with all the farm chores! But the pleasures are abundant: a show-stopping, all-star "Battle of the Dances" that starts out as a square dance and blossoms into a cavalcade of high-stepping dance favorites; Kelly's marvelous song and later dance to "You, Wonderful You;" four of the most popular comedic screen actors ever: Phil Silvers, Eddie Bracken, Hans Conried and Marjorie Main; and Garland's incomparable "Get Happy," a smashing sequence that's one of her peak movie moments.

I cannot think of another entertainer, male or female, who had the sheer starpower and exuberant charisma that she had. She's the greatest all-around female entertainer I've ever seen. In fact, only Sammy Davis, Jr. had similar starpower and charisma. Presence! That's what she has! Peace.

It is siad that this number was shot several months later from every other scene in this movie. THey did so because they wanted to give Garland some time off. You can tell it paid off too b/c she looks around 20 pounds lighter in this number than any part of this movie. Glad she had some time off. THe number is great and so is she.

GEVMM, get your facts straight! She did not kill herself. It was an accidental overdose.

well, that's what they say, but it is still very unsure but anyway, i saw a documentary about her and they say she killed herself...i would really rather believe she didn't, because i love her and she was so talented and she died so young... Judy Garland will live on in our hearts...a true legend...

who doesn't love Judy Garland? One of my favourites. Oh but I love so many classic women. Julie Andrews, Lucille Ball, Deborah Kerr, Carol Burnett...the list goes on, doesn't it?
