(7-Very Good Film)
Familiar. Cozy. Joyful.
Judy Garland is a hardworking farm girl named Jane Falbury. One day, her vain, inconsiderate sister shows up with an acting troupe, unannounced, to rehearse and Jane reluctantly agrees to let them stay if they carry their weight on the farm. Jane meets Joe Ross (Kelly), her sister’s fiancée and the troupe’s director, and over the next several days, inconvenient as it is, the two fall in love. As with all classic MGM musicals, it’s not about being surprising as much as it is being spectacular. Summer Stock showcases two ultra-talented stars in Kelly and Garland with a handful of good numbers and a picturesque setting.

I saw this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed the dance, and there were some very funny lines, too. Judy Garland was fab, as always. And Gene Kelly always gives you your money’s worth, doesn’t he?

Absolutely. And that Judy Garland is always fantastic despite all of the bullying and her personal pressures and issues is kind of incredible.
