The Holiday Classics: Meet Me In St Louis: 80th Anniversary
Quick Take: As much as I love musicals, this is actually my first time. I found it with audio description, and it is a Christmas film on an Anniversary year. it had to finally happen. I found it oddly entertaining looking back on how things were done 80 years ago, and this film is also commenting on a period even earlier than it. So, the grandfather in this movie, when he talks about courting his wife, I’m fairly certain did that during the Civil War. Perspective.
but aside from this cute plot reminiscent of Little Women, is a host of killer tunes, and a gorgeous rendition of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland. This is a classic for others, but for me, it just is a classic that I’m just now getting around to. For more, check out my video.
