Product Description

One of the finest American musicals, this 1944 film by Vincente Minnelli is an intentionally self-contained story set in 1903, in which a happy St Louis family is shaken to their roots by the prospect of moving to New York, where the father has a better job pending. Judy Garland heads the cast of Meet Me in St Louis in what amounts to a splendid, end-of-an-era story that nicely rhymes with the onset of the 20th century. The film is extraordinarily alive, the characters strong, and the musical numbers are so splendidly part of the storytelling that you don't feel the film has stopped for an interlude. --Tom Keogh

Have watched this movie many times over the years and it never gets old. Includes different seasons of the year in the life of the family. Of course Judy Garland is beyond any other vocalist.

Vince Minnelli directs his wife (Garland) and cast in a great costumed and period piece of pure Americana....the St. Louis World's Fair. Little Margaret O'Brien steals the show.
