The greatest star of the screen!
A lion like an elephant never forgets —
★ ★ ★ ★
She was twelve, she came from Grand Rapids and had rhythm. She sang like a lark on the beat. While her mother accompanied her on the pianoforte. M-G-M cheered.
★ ★ ★ ★
What an electric little spark was Judy. She was destined for stardom.
★ ★ ★ ★
Today is destiny day. See "For Me and My Gal."
★ ★ ★ ★ Judy Garland is a great star. As a matter of fact, she is the second most popular actress in the nation by actual poll. And no wonder.
★ ★ ★ ★ How she sings and dances and acts! But above all, she has feeling— that's what makes her so good.
★ ★ ★ ★
It's what distinguishes'Tor Me and My Gal" from all other musical movies you've seen. Feeling.
★ ★ ★ ★ The plot is as warm and friendly as your fireside. Convincing dialogue. Infectious song rendering.
★ ★ ★ ★ George Murphy and Gene Kelly play with Judy. Murphy is at his best. Gene Kelly is a "find." Broadway saw him first in "Pal Joey," but you'll never forget him in "For Me and My Gal."
★ ★ ★ ★
It's not necessary to predict a future for Gene Kelly. His future is here. What a performance he gives as a heel with a heart.
★ ★ ★ ★
The dramatic and humorous screenplay has been provided by Richard Sherman, Fred Finklehoffe and Sid Silvers from Howard Emmett Rodgers' original yarn.
★ ★ ★ ★
Busby Berkeley, the screen's greatest director of musical pictures, directed it and Arthur Freed produced it. The two work well together.
★ ★ ★
"The bells are ringing For Me and My Gal."
P. S. We recommend "Random Harvest" as the greatest dramatic film since "Mrs. Miniver." MetroGoldwynMayer, of course.
