Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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 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

Rating: - THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!
Everything about this movie deserves 5 stars! The acting, story, and the songs and music are fun and interesting. Different songs from this movie have been stuck in my head since I ever saw it and I don't mind it! I am sure if you buy this movie you will watch it over and over again (like me) and never get tired of it. So, I highly recommend Meet Me In St. Louis!!!!!!!
Rating: - Meet Me In St. Louis!
Meet Me In St. Louis was a movie that Judy Garland had not originally wanted to star in. She wanted to continue doing adult roles (she was 22 at the time) and didn't want to play the teenage girl in love with the boy next door. Lucky for us, she did make the movie, which would turn out to be one of her most famous roles. She also objected to the studio's choice for director - Vincente Minnelli. She was MGM's one-take girl, and he had everyone rehearse every scene multiple times. Ironically, however, during ... Read More
