Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
One of the finest American musicals, this 1944 film by Vincente Minnelli is an intentionally self-contained story set in 1903, in which a happy St Louis family is shaken to their roots by the prospect of moving to New York, where the father has a better job pending. Judy Garland heads the cast of Meet Me in St Louis in what amounts to a splendid, end-of-an-era story that nicely rhymes with the onset of the 20th century. The film is extraordinarily alive, the characters strong, and the musical numbers are so splendidly part of the storytelling that you don't feel the film has stopped for an interlude. --Tom Keogh



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Entertaining Shmultz
Garland has a pretty nasty voice by any measure, and the songs themselves set a high standard in banalty.

The awful sweetness of this DVD would make a hardened sailor wretch, but the thing trots along briskly enoough, for which it merits 2, not 1 stars.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - There was a time...
Yes, Virginia. There was a time when Hollywood used saturated color and made movies with upbeat themes and charismatic actors. But even by the standards of those bygone days, MEET ME IN ST LOUIS was a remarkable achievement.

It was based on a series of stories by Sally Benson (called "Tootie" when she was growing up) which were based on the author's life in St. Louis around the turn of that century. To their credit, the producers and studio kept the gentle plot of family life rather than add more dramatic oomph. But they did add songs - and - ooomph - what songs! Even resurrecting "Skip to My Lou" in swing time.

Judy Garland is the most famous name of the cast. But, look closely at the rest and you'll be looking at ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - judy at her BEST
Meet Me In St. Louis is one of those MGM movies when everything is perfect, firstly the songs come at the right time!, and with Frances Gumm (Judy Garland) starring and her husband to be directing Vincente Minnelli, you cant go wrong.
This was One of Garland's most successful films and one of her favourites for MGM, in which she introduced three brillient songs: "The Trolley Song", "The Boy Next Door", and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
It tells the story of four sisters living in St. Louis at the time of the Louisiana World's Fair in 1904. One of the sisters being Margaret O'Brien.
its a wonderful movie and one my favourites out of all the MGM musicals. And one of my favourite songs done also by Judy Garland " ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Meet me at the Fair...
One of the legendary musicals from the Arthur Freed Unit and another of the dazzling technicolour film's that Judy made is 'Meet Me In St. Louis'.

The plot is sometimes a little weak, but nothing below great, and the songs are fantastic with some of Garland's classics like "The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

The acting is great, with Margeret O'brien upstaging everyone as mischevious Tootie and Tom Drake as the boy next door that Judy adores.

Garland never looked more radient and recklessly happy as she did in this 1944 classic, a definitive musical picture that even the deaf should enjoy!

A must buy!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb film
One of the greatest films ever made. I have watched it dozens of times and still enjoy it. Judy Garland lives forever via this movie.
