Divided into a series of seasonal vignettes, starting with Summer 1903, it relates the story of a year in the life of the Smith family in St. Louis, leading up to the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (more commonly referred to as the World's Fair) in the spring of 1904.
The movie was adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson, originally published in The New Yorker magazine under the title "5135 Kensington", and later in novel form as Meet Me in St. Louis. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli, who met Garland on the set and later married her.
Directed By Vincente Minnelli
Starring Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor

There is a guy on KZfaq called the Tired Old Queen at the Movies or Steve Hayes, who does movie reviews from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and onward. He described this scene as if Vincente Minelli, the director, and the future husband of Judy Garland, and the father of Liza Minelli, made the window as a portrait of Judy. I like her long auburn or almost a ginger wig that really makes her so beautiful. This movie and "The Star is Born" (1954) really showed off Judy's talent as a singer and as an actress when she became an adult. There are so many songs in this movie that are so memorable and loved by so many people. Besides Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien as the young Tootie stole this movie with her incredibly funny acting. Margaret even received an Academy Award as a juvenile actress for this movie. I also like Margery Maim as their housekeeper and cook because she had so many funny lines. She was fantastic in the movie called "The Women" (1939) with Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. MGM, as well as Warner Brothers, made the best classic movies with so many great actors and actresses that anyone can enjoy many times over.

I've had the same reaction to the shot - and I've never had the joy of seeing it on a big screen. The whole film is incredibly beautiful, and Judy felt that Minnelli was the first director to make her feel and look beautiful on screen. The other sublimely shot scene I love of her is the "Over the Banister" scene. Transcendent...

Man, she puts all kind of English on that "can't" at the end. Esther doesn't really know what love is yet, but she sure as hell wants to. She's in love with the idea of being in love. That's what a crush is like, and don't I know it. There were no girls next door, but there were girls sitting near me in class. Works about the same way, and that's just how it feels. While most of us have felt this, we don't mainly get orchestrations by Conrad Salinger. Anytime you watch this movie, or quite a few other MGM musical classics, remember his contribution. Judy Garland never forgot it.

Why are you guys even arguing they were both talented. Just because you don't like one of the singers does not mean they were worth less. Judy Garland was a legend, but so was Frank so don't be mean. Btw, they are both dead (may they rest in peace) so it doesn't really matter if you like Frank Sinatra or not. So stop arguing about something pointless that you will forget about tomorrow. Just enjoy the fact that they both were amazing singers and actors.
