More of a drama with music than a traditional musical since all the numbers are ones she performs in a concert setting.<br /><br />She looks a bit rough around the edges but especially when she's preparing to go on stage its probably the clearest picture of her on film. Plus there's a killer scene with Dirk Bogarde that is full of pain and self awareness that she just nails. It's currently streaming on Netflix.<br /><br />For a lighter more straight forward musical Judy Meet Me in St. Louis is great although it has its dark edges too.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-29942810076961528692013-02-19T21:31:08.144-05:002013-02-19T21:31:08.144-05:00I can't believe that until a few days ago the ...I can't believe that until a few days ago the only movie of Judy Garland's I've seen is The Wizard of Oz. I saw Judgment At Nuremberg, it's long and her part is small. The concentration camp stuff was very depressing. I've seen Victor/Victoria a few times JA but not recently and it's good. I saw Barbra's version of a Star Is Born on VHS (I know) years ago but never her version (I am curious).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260102512164039559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-91490680733333787502013-02-19T21:09:46.707-05:002013-02-19T21:09:46.707-05:00beautifully putbeautifully putAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-13854014337945896522013-02-19T18:43:33.422-05:002013-02-19T18:43:33.422-05:00"I Dreamed a Dream" is a great way to wi..."I Dreamed a Dream" is a great way to win an Oscar, but "The Man That Got Away" is the real deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-50907871554345984212013-02-19T16:55:40.171-05:002013-02-19T16:55:40.171-05:00one of the best movies period, imho and so nice to...one of the best movies period, imho and so nice to read a fresh take on it. nicely doneyourtherhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337990762044063005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-67378168848990068662013-02-19T15:39:28.220-05:002013-02-19T15:39:28.220-05:00I just wanted to talk about Judy in the review so ...I just wanted to talk about Judy in the review so let me add here that james Mason is also really wonderful in the film, and Cukor's direction is ace.
