The greatest star of the screen I
We’re full of the milk of human kindness at this writing.
★ ★ ★ ★
We're gay, carefree. You can borrow money from us if you want to.
★ ★ ★ ★
In short, we’re in good humor, and all because we’ve seen the most alluring musical motion picture since our movie¬ going began . . . M-G-M’s “Meet Me In St. Louis”.
★ ★ ★ ★
Whoops! Back you go to the old World's Fair in St. Louis as the guests of the Smith family, of which our favorite members are played by Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien.
★ ★ ★ ★
What gay, nostalgic, wonderful enter¬ tainment this is, enriched in even scene by rainbow Technicolor!
★ ★ ★ ★
Judy Garland seems to have been born for the part of Esther, a high school girl j ust awakening to love— for the boy next door. Esther is young, innocent, viva¬ cious, and golden-voiced.
★ ★ ★ ★
You will have to decide for yourself whether you prefer Judy’s provocative presentation of a young girl in love or Judy’s singing. Perhaps you’ll find, as we did, both talents perfectly fused in “Over The Banister”, “The Boy Next Door”, or that bell-ringing success, “The Trolley Song”. And these are only three of eight songs!
★ ★ ★ ★
Judy (that is, Esther) has a sister — an impish, devilish, utterly lovable kid named “Tootie”. In this part. Margaret O’Brien will become everyone’s sweetheart — if she isn’t everyone’s sweetheart already.
★ ★ ★ ★
Tom Drake, one of M-G-M’s latest finds, plays the boy next door and heads a splendidly-chosen supporting cast in¬ cluding Mary Astor, Marjorie Main, Lucille Bremer, Joan Carroll, Henry H. Daniels, Jr., Leon Ames, and Harry Davenport.
★ ★ ★ ★
The script was written by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe. Arthur Freed, who gave us “Girl Crazy", produced, and Vincente Minnelli directed. They all have cause for pride.
★ ★ ★
Mark our words: M-G-M’s “Meet Me In St. Louis” will strike you as about the best tuneful re¬ past ever displayed for your delight!
