Judy Garland with Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake and Marjorie Main.

"In a role that was one of her favorites, a 22-year-old Judy Garland headlines this warm turn-of-the-century delight presented for the first time on DVD. Set in 1903, this captivating musical is a slice of Americana about the Smith family's experiences during the year of the St. Louis World's Fair. Directed by Vincente Minnelli (whom Garland married soon after filming, later becoming parents to daughter Liza), Judy Garland has perhaps never been more winning as she pines for 'The Boy Next Door,' comforts seven-year-old Margaret O'Brien (awarded a special Oscar as 1944's outstanding child actress) with 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' and whisks along to the clang-clang-clang of 'The Trolley Song.'"--Container.
