Above: Knowing that underneath it all she has a troubled heart, Phil Silvers plants kiss on Judy's cheek. Phil is a great admirer of hers. Right: Judy didn't think she needed any retouching, but makeup girls Helene Parrish and Dot Ponedel corralled her, armed with beautifiers. Below: In film her cook is Marjorie Main, a lady who's graced nany a movie farm. In this scene from "Stock" Judy gets breakfast from Marjorie. THE movies, with the aid of Judy Garland, finally deal with the subject of the strawhat theatres in "Summer Stock," Judy's and MCM's new Technicolor picture. In this, Judy is a well-content farm owner in Connecticut whose actress sister (Gloria De Haven) brings a raft of thespians from the city to put on a show in Judy's barn. At the outset Judy objects, even to Gene Kelly, the director. However, she relents on learning Gloria loves Gene, with the condition that the actors help with the farm chores while they are rehearsing. Farmer Garland, in her unglamourous overalls and serviceable shirts, finds herself becoming fascinated by the preparations for the show and soon knows all the lines and the songs. All this time, she is being courted by a local lad, Orville (Eddie Bracken), who is something of a creep. When Gloria quarrels with Gene and runs off with the company's leading man, Judy is pressed into service as leading lady. As she and Gene work together a romance develops and Eddie, seeing this, does his best to foul up both romance and show. If his machinations are successful or not, you will discover on seeing this frothy opus, sung and danced in the best Garland tradition. J H9L > Judy with "Stock" Director Charles Walters. Nita Bieber behind them.
