Meet Me In St. Louis (1945)

THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!

Everything about this movie deserves 5 stars! The acting, story, and the songs and music are fun and interesting. Different songs from this movie have been stuck in my head since I ever saw it and I don't mind it! I am sure if you buy this movie you will watch it over and over again (like me) and never get tired of it. So, I highly recommend Meet Me In St. Louis!!!!!!! May 18, 2008

Meet Me In St. Louis!

Meet Me In St. Louis was a movie that Judy Garland had not originally wanted to star in. She wanted to continue doing adult roles (she was 22 at the time) and didn't want to play the teenage girl in love with the boy next door. Lucky for us, she did make the movie, which would turn out to be one of her most famous roles. She also objected to the studio's choice for director - Vincente Minnelli. She was MGM's one-take girl, and he had everyone rehearse every scene multiple times. Ironically, however, during the filming of the movie the two fell in love and got married (he was 20 years her senior).

Esther Smith (Judy Garland) is a seventeen-year-old girl living in St.Louis during 1904. Everyone's excited about the upcoming World's Fair, but Esther is more interested in the boy next door, whom she has fallen desperately in love with. But just when he is starting to take interest in her, Esther learns they are moving to New York. Is there anything more tragic?

"Meet Me In St. Louis" has some much loved (and very catchy) songs: "The Trolley Song," "The Boy Next Door," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Meet Me In St.Louis" - all of which became Judy Garland standards. March 28, 2008

Great movie with Judy Garland!

My granddaughter and I are reading the Betsy-Tacy books. (I read them as a child, as did my daughter.) I told her that this movie reminded me of the time setting of those books. I've never seen Judy Garland prettier, and her voice is wonderful! I enjoyed hearing all of the songs and music, and the cast is perfect! March 1, 2008

Meet Me In St. Louis (Two-Disc Special Edition)My wife wanted a DVD of this clasic movie. We have enjoyed watching it. February 18, 2008

Excellent

I have watched this movie for years on tv and finally I made the decision to own it so I can watch it whenever I wish to. I love Judy Garland, while I don't care for all her works there are some that just stand out as super special, and this is one of them. It also carries a special place in my heart since I am from St. Louis, and the songs are great from "Meet me in St.Louis" to "Have yourself a Merry Little xmas". So now on a cold snowy day I can curl up on the Sofa and get warm fuzzies when I put this show on and think about "lovely Old St. Louis" in bygone days, when the newest and greatest was the Worlds Fair coming to town.
