Meet Me In St Louis Sunday 11th – Tuesday 13th December USA 1946 130 mins Dir: Vincente Minnelli
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas…” so sings Esther Smith (Judy Garland) to her sister Tootie as they ponder the prospect of the family leaving behind their loved ones in St Louis and relocating to New York. Minnelli’s tender, witty musical rivals the start of Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons in expressing, elegantly and eloquently, a warm nostalgia for an easier, slower, gentler way of American life. The production design, Technicolor and songs contribute to the affectionate mood, but it’s the performance and the deceptively light script which supply emotional substance.” – Geoff Andrew, BFI
