Reviews

"Warm and beguiling . . . Garland sings with a rich voice that grows riper and more expressive with each new film."

- NEW YORK TIMES

"MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS . . . was a superbly constructed musical with fine songs and a fabulous street set that enhanced the nostalgic re-creations of a bygone era given new life by the color camera . . . still the most cheering and charming of all the MGM musicals, in which Garland sings some of her most memorable songs."
