Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)

Lara and James welcome classic film commentator and author Jeremy Arnold to chat about one of the most popular MGM musicals of the 1940s, starring the one and only Judy Garland. Based on a series of short stories from New Yorker Magazine, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS depicts chapters in the lives of a St. Louis family amid the opening of the 1904 world’s fair. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, it was filmed in spectacular Technicolor and received four Oscar nominations and a Academy Juvenile Award for a superb performance from 7-year-old Margaret O’Brien.
