Critic Reviews for The Harvey Girls

George Sidney's musical western is a joyous, fictionalized tribute to the New England femmes who went out West to bring culture and food; best song is On the Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe, which won an Oscar.
Though this creaky musical hasn't aged well, its peak moments are delightful: Dorothy and her Scarecrow reunited, "On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe" and Garland's gift for physical comedy.
Not quite top line Garland, but very much fun with a good score.
Perhaps not a musical for the ages, but a larkish and exuberant joy all the same.
One classic song does not a good musical make
The story and songs are reminders of a gentler, more innocent age that clearly never existed but was fun imagining in the movies.
Audience Reviews for The Harvey Girls
Glossy Hollywood musical where cowboys and waitresses wear Technicolor outfits that look like they rarely encounter dust. The great performances and musical numbers carry you away to this imaginary place for a couple hours of enjoyable entertainment though. Ray Bolger and Judy Garland re-team, though they don't share many scenes. Bolger provides comic relief, but especially captures the screen with his trademark style of dance. Garland commits to film more tunes that she enlivens with her unique voice and ability to add sensitivity.
Super Reviewer
A fun, but predictable musical comedy.
Super Reviewer
Even lower case Judy is better then most and this has a young Angela Lansbury as well
