Reviews for Meet Me in St. Louis
One of the first films to integrate musical numbers into the plot, it explores, without condescension or simplemindedness, the feelings that drive the family members apart and then bring them back together again.
Garland achieves true stature with her deeply understanding performance, while her sisterly running-mate, Lucille Bremer, likewise makes excellent impact with a well-balanced performance.
Minnelli's first triumph and one of Hollwood best musicals, displaying the director's concept of integrated musical with dazzling color and innovative swriling camera movment
Judy Garland's most famous role and her best performance make for entertaining viewing.
...it grows on you. By the time it's over, you know you've had a good evening's entertainment.
One of Hollywood's all-time great musicals ... Judy has rarely been more lovely than she is here.
The joys of the film linger with the music and encourage you to savor the true moments of family togetherness.
Minnelli's gracefully gliding camerawork is at its absolute best here.
The true magic is in the “Trolley Song” sequence, one of American musical film’s finest moments
Bringing together the film musical's greatest talents, it displays a remarkable freshness.
