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

- Meet me in St. Louis
The provider gave customer a calendar and Christmas card. Someone who maybe a complete stranger gave some holiday cheer to another stranger is always a plus. Movie was excellent and would buy from seller again.

There are many things to love about this film. Where to begin? Judy Garland - lovely and lyrical as Esther Smith, one of four sisters of an upper class St. Louis family circa 1903/1904. She's the heart of the story and her romance with "The Boy Next Door" (Tom Drake) is just plain sweet. Among many great songs she sings in the film standouts include the song mentioned above, Academy Award-nominated "The Trolley Song ("clang, clang, clang went the trolley...") and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (heart-melting). There's Margaret O'Brien as her precocious little sister, "Tootie," whose Halloween adventure is almost a subplot. A great supporting cast includes Mary Astor, Leon Ames, Harry Davenport, Marjorie Main and Chill Wills.

"Meet Me in St. Louis" was directed by one of Hollywood's greatest directors, Vincente Minnelli ("An American in Paris," "Father of the Bride," "The Bad and the Beautiful," ... Read More

- "...We could be happy anywhere as long as we're together!'
This is my favorite line in a nearly flawless movie uttered by Judy Garland at the climax of the memorable Christmas sequence, perfectly capturing the spirit of family that permeates this film. If you're looking for a film that promotes the family unit in a positive light, search no further. Or, if you're a fan of the golden age of the Hollywood musical, this is the touchstone, the film that revolutized the genre in the same way "Oklahoma!" did to the Broadway musical. There are no big production numbers, the songs flow efforlessly out of the situation, are used for characterization and advance the plot. The film introduced three songs which have become standards, "The Boy Next Door", "The Trolley Song", & "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", all masterfully performed by Judy Garland at her peak.

Although intended as an ensemble piece, there is no question as to who is the star. Judy Garland made ... Read More
