Pros: Judy Garland. Enchanting score. Supporting work from Marjorie Main, Mary Astor and Leon Ames.
Cons: Margaret O'Brien overly cloying.
We have had to temporarily suspend production on my new reality television series, American Idyl. I am most upset. Such a simple misunderstanding. It all began when Normy, my darling husband, decided that as four girls were left in the ...

Pros: Winsome, wholesome family entertainment
Cons: If you don't like movie musicals, try something else.
"Meet Me in St. Louis" was made during the M.G.M. heyday and was the first Technicolor musical directed by Vincente Minnelli - husband of its star, Judy Garland, and father of Liza Minnelli.
Based on Sally Benson's...

Pros: costumes, cinematography, sets, cast
Cons: characters, ridiculously happy ending
1944 was the height of U.S. involvement during World War II. A lavish Hollywood musical set in the American past, Meet Me in St. Louis was the ultimate escape from the unrelenting news of the war.
Meet Me in St. Louis tells...

Pros: Great wholesome movie -- includes the 50th anniversary behind-the-scenes look at the making of it.
Cons: Special effects (backdrop, scenery) reflect 1940s filmmaking, and a different look than current movies.
The 1943 musical "Meet Me In St. Louis" starring Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien, is a wonderful nostalgic movie of life in St. Louis at the turn of the century, an idyllic mom-and-apple-pie slice of life, just before the 1904 World's Fair Expo. The...

Pros: The whole movie is a pro
Cons: Nope, can not think of one
Meet Me in St. Louis is based on the memoirs of Sally Benson. She, as a child, lived in St. Louis. As an adult Sally wrote short arcticles for a New York magazine, these arcticles were entitled 5135 Kennisgton Ave. Which is the address of the house...

Pros: The morbid little girl
Cons: Everything else
I will never understand why so many people love Meet Me in St. Louis so much. It is one of the most awful, unbearable films I have ever seen, a complete failure in every possible way. It made me want to kill my film professor for making me watch it....

Pros: great music, great costumes, great acting
Cons: Judy Garland as a blonde takes a little getting used to.
Since I am currently living in St. Louis and working as an Activities Director in a nursing home, this movie was the perfect showing choice for an activity. This is not just a movie, its an Event!
It takes place back in the early 1900's when...

This movie is one of the best musicals of all time. Judy Garland at her finest with beautiful music to go with it. My children just can't seem to watch this movie enough, whenever I ask them what movie I should put in, this one always seems to win hands...

Pros: Good production and music.
Cons: Plot and acting very weak.
The big-time musical has disappeared in the modern film industry's bombardment of new movies. This old-fashioned institute has gone by the wayside, reinforcing the differences of Hollywood's golden days and modern film making. Vincente Minelli's Meet Me...

Pros: Great music, can't go wrong with Judy Garland singing
Cons: Not really a plot; more of a slice-of-life movie
After I watched "Meet Me in St. Louis," I hummed the theme song for days. Weeks later, I'm still humming it. That's what I call a catchy tune.
The story in the movie is about a family of four girls and one boy, with only the young...
